Current supercapacitors present several distinct limitations that severelyinhibit the efficiency, power, and electrical capacitance of energy storagedevices. Supercapacitors present an exciting prospect that has countlessapplications in renewable energy storage and modern day electronic devices. Inrecent years the exciting development of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has presentedan advantage in electrode development. CNTs, however beneficial for theirincreased electrode surface area, have severe limitations regardingconductivity and electrode density. Creating a nanocomposite hybrid out of atransition metal-oxide and carbon nanotube array would help the currentlimitations of the modern supercapacitor. TiO2 was chosen for its commonoccurrence in everyday materials and promising capacitance levels. Amulti-walled carbon nanotube array was grown on a SiO2 precursor via CCVD. Thetransition metal oxide was then deposited via RF Sputtering methods to a MWCNTarray. Recharge tests and characterization were conducted using scanningcapacitance microscopy (SCM). While these tests are preliminary, this novelhybrid electrode represents an exciting prospect for the future of theefficiency of electrochemical energy storage as well as an advance towards afuture of providing inexpensive energy storage solutions around the world.
