Abstract
A two-electrode symmetric supercapacitor based on the carbon xerogel-ZrO2 composites exhibits a high electrochemical performance better than other similar materials from the literature with high capacitances (up to 180Â FÂ gâ1 at 0.125Â AÂ gâ1 for 30% ZrO2 composite), a high retention capacitance and high energy density, 27.1Â Wh kgâ1, at a power density of 140Â W kgâ1 in the voltage range of 0Â V-1.2Â V. The presence of zirconium oxide in the carbon matrix improves in all case the capacitive behavior of samples in spite of the decrease of the surface area and micropore volume of the samples. That has been explained on the base of different textural properties and/or chemical characteristic of the material.
