Enhanced supercapacitance of multiwalled carbon nanotubes functionalized with…

Abstract In this study we report the pseudocapacitive behavior of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) functionalized with hydrous ruthenium oxide in 1 M sulfuric acid for supercapacitor applications.The entangled network of nanotubes which forms open mesopores and their chemical stability with a basal geometry makes them suitable for such applications.Oxidative treatment to generate oxygenate…
