Abstract

Exploring wide voltage window materials is not only an available measure to enhance the energy density of hybrid supercapacitor (HSCs), but also avoids the dynamic mismatch caused by different energy storage mechanisms of two electrodes in assembled symmetrical HSC. However, there are few reports about the wide potential window materials except Bi2O3 and VO2. Therefore, the MnF2 synthesized by solvothermal reaction was served as the electrode for HSC. The MnF2 exhibited electrochemical activity in alkaline solution in three-electrode system, especially with a wide potential window from −0.8 to + 0.5 V in 2 mol·L−1 NaOH. Furthermore, the assembled MnF2//MnF2 symmetrical HSC had a potential window of 1.5 V, and it exhibited outstanding long-cycle capability. Meanwhile, when MnF2 was taken as the negative and positive respectively, the potential windows of asymmetric devices CoMoO4//MnF2 and MnF2//Activated Carbon (AC) could reach 1.3 and 1.45 V, respectively, showing excellent cycle stability. This work shows that MnF2 material has great research value in HSC, and provides a new research direction for developing high-performance devices.

概要

具有宽电位窗口材料的开发不仅是提高混合超级电容器能量密度的有效措施, 而且能够避免由于两极储能机制的不同导致在组装混合超级电容器时电化学动力过程不匹配问题. 然而, 除Bi2O3 和VO2 外, 关于具有宽电位窗口的材料报道很少. 因此, 本研究工作通过溶剂热反应合成的MnF2 可以作为混合超级电容器的电极材料. 在三电极体系测试中, MnF2 在碱性溶液中具有电化学活性, 特别是在2 mol·L-1 NaOH溶液中具有 −0.8 - +0.5 V的宽电位窗口. 此外, 组装的MnF2//MnF2 对称混合超级电容器具有1.5 V 的电位窗口, 并且其表现出优异的长循环能力. 同时, 当MnF2 分别作为负极和正极时, 非对称器件CoMoO4//MnF2 和MnF2//AC 的电位窗口分别可达1.3 和1.45 V, 表现出优异的循环稳定性. 这一工作表明MnF2 材料在混合超级电容器领域具有很大的研究价值, 为开发高性能器件提供了一个新的研究方向.
