摘要:
An electrode material comprised of hydrous metal oxide, such as ruthenium oxide, is annealed up to temperature just below the temperature at which the hydrous metal oxide would crystallize. Therefore, the hydrous metal oxide remains amorphous or non-crystalline. A hydrous metal oxide material treated in this manner provides a charge storage capacity and energy density greater than 747 F/g and 92 joules/gram, respectively, over 1 V range in a sulfuric acid electrolyte. This invention also provides a method of material preparation, wherein a sol-gel process is used to fabricate the hydrous metal oxides and wherein commercially available hydrous ruthenium oxide powders are treated and annealed.

This invention relates to a novel electrode material for electrochemical ) capacitors. This invention also relates to a novel method for making such electrode. The electrode material is an amorphous phase of ruthenium oxide formed directly on titanium (Ti) substrate. The method is the application of heat on the Ti substrate which is wetted by metal alkoxide precursor. The method produces film which adheres to the substrate before and after charge/discharge cycling. As a result, the EC capacitors made of the electrode exhibit high power and also high energy which is higher than that of the traditional crystalline phase of ruthenium oxide thin film on Ti. This type of capacitor is especially suited for burst communication which requires energy with high power density, high energy density, and high cycle life at medium to low voltages (10-20 volts).

A high energy density electrochemical capacitors with electrodes is formed from proton inserted ruthenium oxides (e.g. HRuO.sub.2.xH.sub.2 O or HRuO.sub.2). The electrode material is formed by reducing ruthenium oxides (e.g. RuO.sub.2.xH.sub.2 O or RuO.sub.2) using electrochemical method or chemical reaction between ruthenium oxides with acetone or methanol. Electrochemical capacitors with electrodes formed of proton inserted ruthenium oxides possess higher energy density, lower resistance, broader operating temperature range, and longer lifetime than that with electrodes comprised ruthenium oxides.
