Carbon Nanotube (CNT)-Based Polymeric Supercapacitors
Published in Soney C George, Sam John, Sreelakshmi Rajeevan, Polymer Nanocomposites in Supercapacitors, 2023
The performance of different energy storage devices can be compared with the assistance of the Ragone plot, in which energy density (Wh/kg) is plotted against the power density (W/kg). Generally, the horizontal and vertical axes are plotted in logarithmic scale, and it exemplifies an imprint of the performances of the supercapacitors. The advancement of supercapacitors bridges the gap between batteries and capacitors in terms of both power and energy densities. The energy density of CNT polymer composites was found to be higher compared to other carbon-based materials. In the case of CNT polymer-based supercapacitors, they exploit both faradaic and non-faradaic processes to store the charge and their power densities were found to be superior to EDLCs without loss in cyclic permanence and stability. The CNT polymer-based materials accelerate a capacitive double layer of charge and offer a high surface area backbone that enhances the interaction between the deposited pseudocapacitive materials and electrolytes. The pseudocapacitive materials such as polymers were proficient enough to increase the capacitance of the composite electrodes through faradaic reactions. Figure 4.1 represents the Ragone plot for various energy storage devices.

Energy storage has been used for decades. It has been continuously improved to achieve the current level of development, and many of the storage types have reached a high level of matured systems. Due to their increased popularity, various storage categories have emerged. Based on the energy used in a definite form, ESS are categorized. For example, the storage of energy in electrochemical systems is based on the characteristics of specific energy and specific power capacity. This characteristic is given by “Ragone plot” [7], which helps to find out the capability of all storage types and compare them with different applications which require various energy storage options and on-demand rates of extraction of energy. The Ragone plot (Figure 15.1) can help you choose the best energy storage technology for your needs.

Figure 9 illustrates the principle of ASCs, where two dissimilar materials are assembled together as anode and cathode. The Ragone plot given in Fig. 1 compares the energy and power densities of various energy-storage devices. It is apparent that ASCs deliver significantly higher power density as compared to batteries. Furthermore, the energy densities of asymmetric devices are much higher than that of symmetric supercapacitors, and well comparable to PbO2/Pb and Ni/MH batteries, suggestive of widespread use of ASCs for next-generation electronics.

Figure 10 shows the results from a 20 kV system plotted against a Ragone plot (Neely et al. 2007; Wang et al. 2017). The Ragone plot shows the energy and power densities of various generation technologies; by plotting the results of the simulation on top of this graph it is possible to see the necessary sizing of any potential solution. In Figure 10, the results scaled by potential mass that were calculated are plotted in black while the area of potential solutions is outlined in blue. Potential energy storage sizing can be determined by approximating where a selected technology intersects with this enclosed area and estimating the appropriate size with a comparison to the nearest pre-calculated values. It is noted that the enclosed area intersects the curves representing ultracapacitors, batteries, and flywheel. Of these, the curve for flywheels intersects the line at a specific power and energy of 3000 and 30 Wh/kg respectively. This mapping and the peak power and energy demands illustrated in Figure 9 (peak power of 18.5 MW and peak energy of 169 kWh) indicate that an approximately 5630 kg flywheel system would represent the minimum sized ESS (based on one technology selection) to meet the needs of this vignette.
