In the present study, the polypyrrole (PPy) composites with nano-structured CoOx, NiOx, MnOx, and FeOx were synthesized using the galvanostatic method on their own metal-intercalated graphite surfaces. The deposition and intercalation are performed in TBABF(4)/acetonitrile solution with related metal (II) tetrafluoroborate salts, pyrrole, HBF4, H2O, Triton-X 100 (TX100) and carboxymethyl cellulose (Na-CMC). For the PPy/MnOx/Na-CMC composite, the effects of intercalation and additives on the specific capacitance were examined in an H2SO4/water medium by using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and the Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). Using the optimum deposition conditions determined for Mn composite (additive concentrations and galvanostatic parameters), PPy/CoOx/Na-CMC, PPy/NiOx/Na-CMC, and PPy/FeOx/Na-CMC coatings with a mass loading of 4.0 mg cm(-2) were deposited on their own metal-intercalated graphite electrodes in the deposition solutions containing Co(BF4)(2), Ni(BF4)(2) and Fe(BF4)(2), respectively. XRD, TEM, XPS, SEM-EDX, BET, and EIS techniques were used in characterizing the coatings. Subsequently, the capacitive properties of the composite coatings were examined by means of the galvanostatic charge-discharge test. The highest SC value is recorded for the Mn-based composite (463 F g(-1)), whereas the lowest is for Fe-based (311 F g(-1)) one. Finally, symmetric and asymmetric supercapacitor configurations incorporating two electrodes with 10 mg cm(-2) active material were used in making measurements to determine the capacitive behaviors of PPy/Metal oxide composites. The symmetric supercapacitor with PPy/MnOx/Na-CMC composite providing 0.29 kW kg(-1) and 15.0 Wh.kg(-1) at 0.5 A g(-1) maintains 62% of its power and energy densities at 2.5 A g(-1) at the end of 5000 cycles at a potential range of 0.8 V.

Capacitive Effects of Memristive Structure Composed of Multi-walled CNT and Sodium Alginate Under DC Offset

Yasemen Ince Keser, Yeter Sekertekin, Dincer Gokcen

Summary: This study investigates the use of composite material in the active layer of memristors, specifically for memory devices and resistive switching applications. A composite ink composed of multi-walled carbon nanotubes and sodium alginate was produced. Electrical characterization revealed the presence of capacitive effect in the fabricated memristor. Experimental results demonstrated that a DC offset voltage enhanced the memristive property associated with bow-tie hysteresis. Notably, increasing DC offset amplitudes led to a decrease in capacitance value. Durability and retention tests were conducted to evaluate memristor reliability, while scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy were employed for surface morphology and chemical structure analysis of the composite ink.
