Pyrolized carbon electrode material for supercapacitors obtained from organic raw materials of vegetable nature

In this paper we investigate carbon materials prepared from different organic raw materials of vegetable nature by the method of pyrolysis. Properties of obtained carbon substances are established by the methods of impedance spectroscopy, voltamperometry, and chronoamperometry. Starting from the data of electron paramagnetic resonance, impedance spectroscopy and an analysis of the Regon diagrams it is concluded that the obtained carbon materials contain carbon nanostructures in the form of bungles of multiwall nanotubes.

Generalized model of capacitance from discharge current dependence in nickel-cadmium batteries

For nickel-cadmium batteries of stationary application, a global empiric correlation C(i) describing the dependency of released capacitance by the batteries at different discharge currents was suggested, which is true for batteries of any capacitance and any mode of discharge (H, M, L). The global correlation C(i) can be described by generalized Peukert's equation, Korovin-Skundin's equation, probability integral, and porous electrode equation with accuracy sufficient for practical application.
