Abstract

This work focuses on the preparation of flexible ruthenium oxide containing activated carbon cloth by electrodeposition. Different electrodeposition methods have been used, including chronoamperometry, chronopotentiometry and cyclic voltammetry. The electrochemical properties of the obtained materials have been measured. The results show that the potentiostatic method allows preparing composites with higher specific capacitance than the pristine activated carbon cloth. The capacitance values measured by cyclic voltammetry at 10 mV s−1 and 1 V of potential window were up to 160 and 180 F g−1. This means an improvement of 82% and 100% with respect to the capacitance of the pristine activated carbon cloth. This excellent capacitance enhancement is attributed to the small particle size (4–5 nm) and the three-dimensional nanoporous network of the ruthenium oxide film which allows reaching very high degree of oxide utilization without blocking the pore structure of the activated carbon cloth. In addition, the electrodes maintain the mechanical properties of the carbon cloth and can be useful for flexible devices.
