In this report, the supercapacitor was constructed with activated carbon paper as electrodes and 3 M H 2 SO 4 solution bearing 1 M VOSO 4 as electrolyte. This supercapacitor showed high areal capacitance of 2146 mF/ cm 2 with around 16 times higher than that of 134 mF/cm 2 in pristine electrolyte of 3 M H 2 SO 4 and good cycling performance retaining 92 % after 5000 cycles. The full-scale and enlarged Nyquist-type impedance spectra further indicate that the supercapacitor has low diffusion resistance and exhibits good power capability. Constructed by this way, the performances of supercapacitors were improved for the synergistic effect of the absorbance and catalysis of the activated carbon paper as well as redox properties of the couples VO 2+ /VO 2 + .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
