Abstract
In this work, a long-life and high-performance electrode material is successfully fabricated by the incorporation of carbon nanotube (CNT) with different length using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on a hierarchically three dimensional (3D) carbon foam (CF), which is obtained from the mesophase pitch. The morphology, composition, and electrochemical performance of the as-prepared composites are characterized using the scanning electron microscope (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, cyclic voltammetry, and galvanostatic charge/discharge cycling techniques. Characterizations suggest that this resultant CF/CNT-50 electrode material has a good cycling stability with capacitance retention of 96.5% even after 10000 cycles. Moreover, it shows a high mass capacitance of 227.5â¯F/g based on the resultant electrode materials, higher energy density of 28â¯Wh kgâ1 and power density of 3700â¯Wâ¯kgâ1 at a current density 2â¯Aâ¯gâ1 and also excellent charge/discharge rate. These measured charge storage properties make the proposed hybrid materials excellent electrode material candidates for high performance supercapacitors.
