摘要

The fine metal-oxide nanoparticles gain attention in wide range of applications, for example, in medical solutions, in environmental protection, in sanitation and most importantly in electrochemistry. Electrospraying technique allows us to prepare well defined layers of particles at the nano-scale. In this study several methods for preparation of the nano-structured layers of MnO_2 and Co_3O_4 oxides are presented. The MnO_2 layers find their application in pseudocapacitors, i.e., devices with theoretical capacitance up to 1100 C/g. The conditions during deposition process were optimized with respect to the final layer morphology (porosity, particle size), which was studied by AFM and SEM techniques. Once the satisfactory morphology was obtained, the composition of the produced layers was analyzed by XRD and Raman microscopy. The measurements showed that the deposited layer is consisted of mixed manganese oxides (including Mn_3O_4). To convert this mixture to MnO_2 the effects of annealing and electrochemical cycling on the composition were studied. Annealing in air for 3 to 6 hours at temperatures from 300 to 600℃ was studied. After annealing at moderate temperatures (300 to 400℃) we observed an increase in Mn_3O_4 content. At temperatures above 500℃, the material was oxidized to Mn_2O_3 with a possible small fraction of Mn_5O_8. Change in the annealing time from 3 to 6 hours hasn't significantly affected the observed phenomena. The layer conditioning by electrochemical cycling does result in the change of the deposited material to MnO_2. After 500 cycles the electrode already contains a significant fraction of MnO_2 with the structure of sintered fibers (Figure 1). The change of the electrochemical response after 2 to 200 cycles is shown in Figure 2. The prepared nanostructured electrodes containing MnO_2 were used for supercapacitor assembly. Assembled supercapacitors were subjected to charge/discharge cycling and cycling voltammetry. The specific capacities evaluated by both methods lie between 130 and 150 F per gram of the manganese oxide, which are values consistent with those reported for supercapacitors in the literature. The CO_3O_4 shows the so-called bifunctional catalyst behavior for the oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reaction, finding its application in air electrodes for fuel cells and metal-air batteries. The combined wet spraying and electrospraying method was developed and successfully applied for the preparation of the air electrodes for metal-air battery. The influence of the catalyst composition, the catalyst particle size and the active layer structure to catalyst activity, the oxygen reduction and the evaluation potentials and the electrode long term stability was studied. The Co, Ni and Mn precursors were used for the catalyst layer deposition and the catalyst composition was verified using Raman microscopy. Prepared electrodes were characterized by the cyclic voltammetry and the electrochemical impedance spectrometry. From the obtained results we can conclude that a zinc-air battery with more than 65% energy efficiency can be developed. The presented study shows that the electrospraying method is a simple tool to prepare a well-defined layers of the active materials with comparable or better parameters for applications in the energy storage technologies.
