Transformation of supercapacitive charge storage behaviour in a multi elemental spinel CuMn2O4 nanofibers with alkaline and neutral electrolytes

Electrode material has been cited as one of the most important determining factors in classifying an energy storage system’s charge storage mechanism, i.e., as battery-type or supercapacitive-type. In this paper, we show that along with the electrode material, the electrolyte also plays a role in de...

Transformation of supercapacitive charge storage behaviour in a multi elemental spinel CuMn2O4 nanofibers with alkaline and neutral electrolytes
description Electrode material has been cited as one of the most important determining factors in classifying an energy storage system’s charge storage mechanism, i.e., as battery-type or supercapacitive-type. In this paper, we show that along with the electrode material, the electrolyte also plays a role in determining the charge storage behaviour of the system. For the purpose of our research, we chose multi-elemental spinal type CuMn2O4 metal oxide nanofibers to prove the hypothesis. The material is synthesized as nanofibers of diameter ~ 120 to 150 nm in large scales by a pilot scale electrospinning set up. It was then tested in three different electrolytes (1 M KOH, 1 M Na2SO4 and 1 M Li2SO4), two of which are neutral and the third is alkaline (KOH). The cyclic voltammograms and the galvanostatic charge–discharge of the electrode material in a three-electrode system measurement showed that it exhibit different charge storage mechanism in different electrolyte solutions. For the neutral electrolytes, a capacitive behaviour was observed whereas a battery-type behaviour was seen for the alkaline electrolyte.
