In this paper the properties of some Ni-Cu layers deposited onto a steel substrate were discussed. One has investigated the influence of the electrodeposition process on the final properties of the Ni-Cu layers, in order to see if these electrodeposited layers could be used as supercapacitor plates. The structural characterization was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and their composition by dispersive energy spectrometry. One has built a number of functional supercapacitors using Ni-Cu layer plates inserting in between them a separation membrane and their capacitance values were determined.
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.
