Highly conductive VO2 treated with hydrogen for supercapacitors

Abstract

Reduction of VO2 resistance by nearly 3 orders of magnitude through H2 treatment was reported for supercapacitor application. A specific discharge capacitance of 300 F g(-1) and a specific energy density of 17 W h kg(-1) at a rate of 1 A g(-1) are demonstrated with long-term cycling stability, which is 4 times higher than untreated samples.
