  • Patent number: 8053026
    Abstract: A method for the synthesis of nanocomposites is provided. The method comprises the steps of mixing carbon nanotubes with a urea solution to form urea/carbon nanotube composites (first step), mixing the urea/carbon nanotube composites with a solution of a metal oxide or hydroxide precursor to prepare a precursor solution (second step), and hydrolyzing the urea in the precursor solution to form a metal oxide or hydroxide coating on the carbon nanotubes (third step).

  • Publication number: 20090225498
    Abstract: The present invention provides an asymmetric hybrid capacitor, in which metal oxide containing lithium and capable of producing lithium ions by an electrochemical reaction and supplying the lithium ions in an electrolyte in the capacitor is used as a positive electrode active material, and metal oxide capable of accepting the lithium ions supplied through the electrolyte is used as a negative electrode active material, such that the lithium ions of the same participate in the electrochemical reactions at both electrodes. As a result, it is possible to minimize reduction in ionic conductivity during charge/discharge, compared with conventional asymmetric hybrid capacitors, in which metal oxide and a carbon material are used as electrode materials, respectively. Moreover, since metal oxide having high specific capacitance is used to form both electrodes, it is possible to maximize energy density and power density.
