稀土氧化物改性的Co3O4在超級(jí)電容器中的應(yīng)用研究稀土氧化物改性的Co3O4在超級(jí)電容器中的應(yīng)用研究

摘要：

超級(jí)電容器作為新型電化學(xué)儲(chǔ)能器件，具有高功率密度、長(zhǎng)循環(huán)壽命和快速充放電等優(yōu)點(diǎn)，已被廣泛應(yīng)用于動(dòng)力電子、光電子和電磁兼容等領(lǐng)域。Co3O4作為一種廉價(jià)且豐富的材料，具有較高的比電容、良好的循環(huán)穩(wěn)定性和較高的導(dǎo)電性能，在超級(jí)電容器中有著廣闊的應(yīng)用前景。然而，Co3O4中的導(dǎo)電性能和循環(huán)穩(wěn)定性都受到了嚴(yán)重的限制。針對(duì)這些缺點(diǎn)，本文綜述了稀土氧化物改性Co3O4在超級(jí)電容器中的應(yīng)用研究進(jìn)展。首先介紹了Co3O4材料的化學(xué)合成方法和電化學(xué)性能；其次，探討了不同稀土元素改性對(duì)Co3O4電化學(xué)性能的影響、不同改性方法的優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)及其機(jī)理；最后，展望未來(lái)該領(lǐng)域的發(fā)展前景和方向，以期為超級(jí)電容器的研究和應(yīng)用提供參考。
