Evaluation of lyophility of carbon materials for electrodes of supercapacitors

Аннотация

The heats of wetting have been measured experimentally for some of the solvents used for the preparation of electrolytes of supercapacitors. For the first time, the heat of wetting has been measured for a new promising solvent—tributyl phosphate. Using acetonitrile as an example, the possible orientation of the molecule at the adsorbing surface has been investigated by the technique of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) (effect of giant enhancement of the scattering by a conducting surface). The calculated estimates have been obtained for the quantities found in the experiment.
