Abstract

Microwave-assisted hydrothermal (MAH) route has been demonstrated as a powerful method for rapid synthesis of RuO2·x H2 O-TiO2 nanocomposites with ideal capacitive behavior. From high resolution transmission electron microscopic and element mapping images, anatase TiO2 crystallites are formed before RuO2·x H 2O nucleation under the MAH environment, enhancing the exposure and utilization of RuO2 ·x H2O. RuO2-based specific capacitance reaches the maximum, 992 F g-1 estimated from cyclic voltammetries measured at 100 mV s-1, when 60 RuO 2·x H2O-40 TiO2 is annealed in air at 150°C for 2 h, achieving the high power and high capacitance purposes.
