Abstract:
Ti/IrO2-CeO2 electrodes were prepared by thermal decomposition at various annealing temperatures. The influence of the annealing temperature on microstructure, morphology, and capacitive performance of the Ti/IrO2-CeO2 electrodes was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The annealing temperature was found to play a significant role in affecting the microstructure and capacitive performance. The amorphous structure transformed to crystalline with increasing annealing temperature. The structure with about 28% amorphous could be still existed at 460~480°C, which indicated that CeO2 could inhibit crystallization of the IrO2. The Ti/IrO2-CeO2 electrodes annealed at 380°C had the maximum specific capacitance combining with excellent cycling behavior, and the crystallization degree of the Ti/IrO2-CeO2 electrodes was about 25%. Charge transfer resistance of the electrode depended on the degree of crystallization of the electrodes, showing a ladder fall with increasing annealing temperature.
