Mathematical model of the subdiffusion impedance in multilayer nanostructures is considered on the basis of the Cattaneo-type diffusion equation in fractional derivatives. The Nyquist diagrams are calculated for different values of subdiffusion coefficient and time parameter (time for which the flow delays concerning the gradient of charge carriers concentration). A qualitative agreement is obtained for the GaSe system with encapsulated β-cyclodextrin.

A novel flexible electrospun nanofiber/γ-Fe₂O₃ composite has been obtained from suspension of γ-Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles in polyvinylpyrolidone solution in dimethylformamide. The impedance spectroscopy of the synthesized nanofiber/γ-Fe₂O₃ composite was carried out. Negative magnetoresistance and giant magnetocapacitance effects, as well as phenomenon of a "negative capacitance" at room temperature were observed in magnetic field (2.75 κOe) in infra-low frequency range. The polarization properties and volt-ampere characteristics of the nanocomposite in the applied magnetic field indicate the increase in the dielectric permittivity ɛ and the emergence of spin electromotive force, which enables us to accumulate of electric energy at quantum level. A quantum-mechanical model, which explained the non-monotonous behaviour of the volt-ampere characteristic of the novel nanofiber based composite, has been suggested.

We have discovered a huge enhancement of the supercapacity (up to 4 times) under sun illumination of electrodes fabricated from cavitated nanoporous carbon being carbonized from an iodine doped β–cyclodexryn. This effect was achieved even without a frequently used KOH treatment and is caused by enhancement of effective activated surfaces. The synthesized cavitated nanoporous carbon exhibits principally different accumulative features at the carbon/electrolyte interface. Relationship between the porous structure, electronic properties of supramolecular nanoporous carbon and enhanced supercapacitance is explored. The impedance spectroscopy measurements (Nyquist diagram) apparently suggest a capacitance mechanism for the energy accumulation. Enhancement of the supercapacity is explained by light-generated carriers in low-dimensional nano-interfaces in relevant mechanism an increasing concentration of delocalized electrons resulting in unlocking of the Helmholtz layer capacity.

The surface of microporous Norit® GAC 830 W carbon was fluoroalkylated by heating in 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane and 1,1,1,2,2-pentafluoroethane at 400 and 500 °C. Elemental analysis, FTIR ATR spectroscopy, and TG studies showed the presence of ∼0.1–0.7 mmol g−1 of the fluorine-containing groups. Nitrogen adsorption measurements and quenched solid density functional theory simulations proved an increase in the mesoporosity. By combining the results of solid-state 19F NMR and XPS analyses, we determined the functionalization of the carbon surface with CF, CF3, and CF2 fluorine-containing groups. Supercapacitor electrodes prepared from these materials were subjected to the charge-discharge tests and electrical impedance measurements. During galvanostatic cycling in the aqueous 30% KOH, they showed an enhanced charge capacitance compared to the parent (830 W) and the reference (Supra 30) carbons. These observations suggest that the fluoroalkylated surface and the modified microporous structure have an additive effect on capacitance parameters of carbon electrodes studied in symmetric, negative and positive modes. The fluoroalkylation caused an increase in the surface capacitance up to 38%. Herein, we demonstrate the fluoroalkylation is a simple way to increase a capacitance of carbon electrodes.

Context. The task for electric energy accumulation in non-electrochemical way but by means of electrons and spins was developed on the basis of quantum accumulators and spin capacitors. Synthesized clathrates of 4 folds expanded GaSe matrix with guest component sodium nitrite NaNO2, Iron II Sulfate FeSO4 and combination of them NaNO2⊕FeSO4 are the object of research.Objective. Synthesis of heterostructured nanocomposite materials with large developed interface, anisotropic electric conductance and high values of dielectric permittivity in combination with loss tangent less than 1.Method. The intercalation approach to heterostructured nanocomposite materials formation was proposed. It allows creating developed atomic-molecular complexes of host-guest type and hierarchical structures of subhost-host-guest type. The X-ray diffractometry data show the structural changes in macro composite NaNO2⊕FeSO4 at the transition to the guest nanoscale geometry. With the help of frequency dependence of specific complex impedance the main features of current flow and charge accumulation processes in synthesized nanohybrids and effect of cointercalation were determined. Impedance photo- and magneto- responses show a gigantic photodielectric, magnetoresistive and magnetocapacitive effects at room temperature. These effects open up a new possibilities of theirs application as highly sensitive sensors of constant magnetic and light wave field.Results. Clathrates GaSe , GaSe та GaSe were synthesized. Electric charge accumulation at the interface was determined. The effects of negative photoconductivity and giant magnetoresistance, drastic increase in photo-EMF, giant photodielectric and magnetocapacitive effects were registered at room temperature.Conclusions. Cointercalation of NaNO2⊕FeSO4 modifies the energetic specter of GaSe more than individual intercalation. Synthesized clathrates are promising materials for novel approaches in thechnology of highly sensible sensors of capacitive type for magnetic and light wave field at room temperatures as well as for quantum accumulators and quantum capacitors as a new alternative of chemical power sources

Two-dimensional nanofiber mats based on a mixture of polybenzimidazole with telechelic oligoperoxide are obtained by the method of electrospinning. It is shown that the reactive peroxide groups on the surface of nanofibers can be modified by the initiation of radical polymerization and grafting of various polymeric chains. The phenomenon of “negative” capacitance is detected for the impedance dependences of synthesized nanofibers. The influence of grafting of various polymeric chains to the surface of nanofibers on the polarization characteristics of nanocomposites is investigated. It is shown that some of the obtained structures are characterized by a combination of a low (< 1) tangent of dielectric losses in the infralow-frequency region (0.001–0.1 Hz) and high values of the dielectric permittivity (∼106). The possibilities of application of materials of this kind in the production of quantum batteries are discussed.

A new technological approach to the synthesis of multilayer nanostructures which allows their use in high-performance storage of electrical energy at the nanoscale level is discussed in this paper. In particular, the effect of co-intercalation of histidine (his), water and a solution of KOH into layered semiconductors of GaSe and InSe on the charge accumulation are studied. Based on the data of the cyclic current-voltage characteristics (CVC) a power storage mechanism (capacitive/pseudocapacitive) in each of these structures is described. This mechanism is in a good accord with the results of galvanostatic studies. The simulation of the parameters of the impedance equivalent circuit has been carried out, proving the possibility of using the described structures for nanoelectronics and nanoenergy devices. The observed values of tangent of electrical losses tgδ (

This paper deals with an electric energy storage system (ESS) of distributed structure composed from the hybrid energy storage modules (HESM). Each module consists of the lead acid battery and the supercapacitor (SC) pack, which are connected to each other by the bidirectional DC-DC converter. The uniqueness of the proposed structure is that the DC-bus of whole ESS is formed by means of adding the SC pack voltages of all modules. For low voltage modules, it is proposed to use an ecologically acceptable SC with aqueous solution of KOH. Such SC has a low production cost, but also low voltage, no more than 1.2 V. For increasing specific characteristics of the SC with nonorganic electrolyte, the technology of its production was developed. This technology includes the next stages: receiving the biocarbon material from flax fibers with a developed specific surface area, carbonization and activation of the flax biocarbon at optimum regimes, its doping with iron, folding the electrodes, filling them with electrolyte, and sealing the cells. A control system was developed for the created HESM. The proposed HESM is built by Matlab/Simulink to verify its feasibility. Finally, a prototype of HESM is also set up to test the performance.

The purpose of this work is to expand the class of electrical energy storage devices with non-conjugate functional hybridity. Cyclodextrins of β- and γ-modifications has used as a starting material for research. These materials containing intramolecular voids, which are able to accommodate guest components by molecular recognition on the "lock-key" principle. Methods of precision porometry and impedance spectroscopy has used to study the obtained carbon structures, electrochemical and magnetic measurements has performed to study the obtained carbon structures. Data of the precision porometry has indicated a bimodal porous structure of the synthesized chars. The total specific surface area of active surface of the β-cyclodextrin carbonizate was about 72 m2/g. After KOH-modification, the specific capacity for β-cyclodextrin char was 158 F/g, and in the negative potential range – 203 F/g. The last value for γ-cyclodextrin carbon was 162 F/g. The ability of β-cyclodextrin to molecular recognition of ferrocene (FC) has used and this cavitat has subjected to activation carbonation according to the same modes as β-cyclodextrin. The specific capacity of the obtained char of the β-CD complex after the KOH-modification was 110 F/g, the specific capacity of the cavitate carbon synthesized on γ-CD has dropped twice. The study of complexes host-guest inclusions β-cyclodextrin with molecular iodine has indicated a slight increase of capacity. However, their interface with 30 % aqueous electrolyte solution has shown high photosensitivity. The specific capacitance of the cavitate carbon without KOH-modification has increased four times when it was illuminated with integral and monochromatic light from LEDs of the same intensity. Magnetic studies of the synthesized carbonates have shown that they all demonstrate ferromagnetic properties. Measurement under normal conditions and in a constant magnetic field of cells of symmetric configuration on carbon-based electrodes synthesized with γ-CD and γ-CD has showed that their capacitance practically does not change, but their reactance parameters change significantly. Supercapacitors based on these carbonates can serve as sensors of a weak magnetic field at room temperature. Magnetovarionistors is a new class of devices, which are forming on such kind of supercapacitors.

It was identified that the electric energy storage device the positive electrode of which is molybdenum disulfide obtained by the template method has the discharge specific capacity of 238.9 F/g at a scan rate of 0.001 V/c.

Nanofiber based polymer-inorganic composites filled with superparamagnetic nanoparticles were synthesized via electrospinning technique from the suspension of γ-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles in dimethylformamide solution of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP). On the basis of the magnetometric analysis, it was shown that γ-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles were in a superparamagnetic state in the nonmagnetic PVP matrix and its content was 10% weight. TEM, EDX analysis and impedance spectroscopy were conducted. It was found that the applied magnetic field (MF) of 2.75 kOe caused a negative giant magnetoresistive effect (GMRE) in the infra-frequency range. For both under normal conditions, and in MF nanofiber (NFM) composite, filled with functionalized maghemite γ-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles, NFM/γ-Fe 2 O 3 , the phenomenon of “negative” capacity was detected In addition, the polarization properties of the synthesized material were analyzed. It was proved that applied MF during the measurements increased the dielectric constant ∊ of the material and the magneto-capacitive effect reached 4000% in the infra-frequency range at room temperature. Spin electromotive force (EMF) and 〈spin-battery〉 effect were detected. The possibility of using the synthesized material as high-quality magneto varicaps (in the frequency range of 50÷106 Hz) and quantum batteries (in the frequency range 10−3÷210−2 Hz) was proved.

The problem of coupling the porous structure of carbon materials with their electronic structure to achieve the maximum efficient operation of an electric double layer, i.e., the interfaces with the electrolyte, was considered. The initial materials for producing activated carbon were flax and field horsetail fibers. The effect of introducing iron-containing impurities into the initial raw flax material and natural silicon in the horsetail structure on the parameters of capacitive energy storage was studied. The investigation of the capacitance-voltage characteristics of the electric double layer, magnetic properties, and Raman spectroscopy data made it possible to propose a mechanism explaining the data obtained.

The dielectric constant and the loss tangent of such nanostructured materials as MCM-41 with encapsulated into its pores, the ferroelectric liquid crystal (LC) or rhodamine 6G and B dyes, as well as the characteristics of the intercalated GaSe by the L-aspartic acid (LAA) are investigated. Influence of microwave irradiation on characteristics of the MCM-41 nanohybrid and impact of illumination along the crystallographic c-axis on the GaSe nanostructure are described.

We have found that the structures based on ITO/tri(9-hexylcarbazol-3-yl)amine/Ca/Al fabricated by means of vacuum deposition generate acoustic oscillations when pulse voltage is applied. Impedance spectroscopy study indicates the presence of significant inductive response, which is the result of significant energy barriers at the semiconductor-metal interface. We assume that a very heterogeneous spatial distribution of the electric field at the organic/metal interface and the noncoplanarity of the molecules cause the electrostriction effect in the structures.

Three types of nanohybridized structures such as organic/dielectric, organic/semiconductor, and organic/graphen-like ones are investigated. The effect of ultrasonic exposure on the material structure and its influence on the dielectric permeability and on the dielectric loss tangent are studied for the first type of nanostructures. The magnetoresistance of a structure at room temperature is studied in the second type of materials. The change of the kinetic parameters of the intercalation process is shown for the third type of nanohybrid structures.

We performed impedance spectroscopy studies on intercalated multilayer structures of type-layered inorganic semiconductor (gallium selenide and indium selenide)/organic semiconductors (N,N′-dimethyl-3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic diimide), which revealed the appearance of low-frequency inductive response as a result of intercalation of organic semiconductors (OS) into inorganic semiconducting layers. A current–voltage characteristic has the shape of Coulomb steps with a step 0.32 V that are blurred due to superimposition of electric field and illumination. An applied electric field and illumination during the introduction of OS leads to the formation of electrets and photoelectret states that modify polarisation and photoprocesses in accordance with the conductivity type of nonorganic matrix.

The thermodynamic and kinetic regularities of the intercalation of lithium into C-SiO2 nanocomposites are studied. The dependence of the differential capacity and kinetic intercalation parameters on the size of nanocomposite particles is established. According to theoretical analysis, the obtained results are explained as resulting from the quantum-mechanical effect of the interference blockage of the tunneling of an electron into a nonmetallic nanoparticle. An impedance model of processes and its parametric identification are given. A new class of electrochemical energy generators is proposed.

In this work, for the first time, photosensitive nanostructures with alternate semiconductor and magnetic oriented nematic molecular nanolayers were obtained. The established dependency on the ordering type of kinetic and optical properties is deserving attention. For the first time, the notion of ‘rotary’ polaron in such structures is introduced and microscopic model is created, which explains band structure transformation. The model is well coordinated with experimental optical data, which, at the same time, indicate the prospects of application of materials obtained due to the intercalation engineering for photoenergetics.

The multilayer structure consisting of alternating semiconductor (InSe) and molecular nematic (MN) nanointerlayers has been prepared using the intercalation techniques. The stages of the preparation of the InSe〈MN〉 structures have been described, and the results of investigation of their physical properties by impedance spectroscopy have been reported. The structures of the impedance models have been proposed, and prospects for their use as ultrahigh-capacitance varicaps and nanostructured elements of delay lines that can be directly incorporated into nanochips have been justified.

We report on stable in time organic photovoltaic devices based on metal-phthalocyanine structures, which were formed by vacuum deposition of nickel phthalocyanine (NiPc). The reported stability is due to ultra-thin zinc oxide (ZnO) layer formed at low temperature on top of the structure (beneath the metal contact) by atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique. We performed comparative analysis of current density–voltage characteristics and frequency dependencies of the impedance for freshly made ITO/NiPc/ZnO/Al and ITO/NiPc/Al devices and after storage during one month in air. We conclude that introducing of ultra-thin ZnO film into under-cathode region of ITO/NiPc/Al structure provides long-term protection of NiPc films from atmospheric effects.

Intercalation of gallium and indium selenide crystals by nickel initiates their electret polarization. The effect manifests itself at small concentrations of the intercalant. Temperature dependences of dielectric permittivity for both crystals demonstrate peaks in the same region of concentration. The effect is presumably connected with the ordering of local quasi-dipoles caused by the redistribution of intercalant atoms between octahedral and two tetrahedral positions. It is shown that a microscopic four-state model is able to reproduce a peak-like behaviour of the polarization at change of the intercalant chemical potential (concentration) and peculiarities of temperature dependences of the transverse dielectric susceptibility.

The mechanisms of the photoelectretic effect appearing on Ni intercalation GaSe were studied. The presence of the photoelectretic effect for such an object of investigation can be explained by the estimation that in Ni intercalated GaSe , the nonequilibrium electrons and holes excited by light occurred on an asymmetric potential well.

Intercalated crystals of indium and gallium selenide are prepared. It is shown that laser intercalation of nickel into GaSe samples leads to a giant magnetoresistive effect whose magnitude and sign depend on the concentration of the guest component. The giant magnetoresistive effect in the InSe intercalation compounds is considerably weaker and does not exceed 5%. The experimental data obtained are explained in terms of magnetic delocalization (localization) of charge carriers with the participation of states of intercalated magnetically active atoms in the vicinity of the Fermi level.

Within the framework of the Kronig-Penny model, changes in the electron spectrum of a layered crystal caused by intercalation are analyzed. Special attention is paid to both the geometric changes of the crystal and its energy characteristics during intercalation. The extraordinary behavior of the spectrum caused by the geometric intercalation factor is observed.

Capacitor nano structure for alternative current circuits by intercalation technology method is formed. It is shown the 100 times capacitance increase in comparison to well known volumetric-porous structures. Up to now the most important problem in the microelectronics, electron technique production miniaturization has been solved in the micron sizes. The same tendency is considered for capacitor technology. The different parameters, achieved in this direction are given in Table 1 [1].

It is shown that iodine introduction, changing the crystal field of host lattice and thus Gibbs energy of lithium intercalation, can play the role of very useful mechanism for synthesis of new cathode materials in high-voltage energy storage. Investigations of real and imaginary components of permittivity dependence on frequency are carried out.

First nano-hybridized clathrate/cavitant structure of hierarchical architecture was synthesized. The results of investigations of the properties of initial nanoporous silica matrices MCM-41, with encapsulated in its pores of β-cyclodextrin in cavitand and cavitat (with FeSO4) states and change at room temperature in a constant magnetic field intensity of 2.75 kOe, have been presented. Phenomenon of enormous magnetocapacitance and giant negative variable-current magnetoresistance has been discovered.

Double-matrix hierarchical structure of the 〈molecular-lattice matrix MCM-41〈hydroquinone〉〉 is synthesized. Its use in the cathode process in the Li +-intercalation current generation showed a significant improvement in the structure of the discharge curve and the practical constancy of diffusion coefficient throughout the discharge process. Theoretical model describing the peculiarities of observed characteristics in the structure is presented.

Heterophase nanostructures with alternate semiconductor and electrolytic seams are received. It is shown that the insertion of a polymer composition into the van der Waals gap of crystals causes the additional potential barriers in them. A non-monotone change of the resistance of the obtained structure under applied potential, as well as the strong low-frequency dispersion, has been found out, which can be due to the polarization of double electric layers.

Peculiarities of kinetic characteristics in a supramolecular system, in particular, in a double-matrix structure observed at change of the guest content in a matrix-host are investigated. Results obtained within the framework of a time-independent one-dimensional Schrödinger equation with three barrier potential qualitatively explain experimental data. They indicate the importance of size quantization of a system, correlation between energy and geometric characteristics of both guest and host in this case.
