Özet

The aim of the present study was to examine the electrochemical performance of boron nanowires (BNWs) grown using the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth mechanism in the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system at 1200 degrees C on a silicon wafer in the presence of iron (Fe) catalyst nanodroplets as a supercapacitor electrode material in 1 M Na2SO4 aqueous electrolyte solution. The structure and morphology of BNWs were examined using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) analyses, while their electrochemical performances were determined by measuring the cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD), and electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS). BNWs showed great cycle stability with an areal capacitance of 30 mF cm(-2) and 93.4% of the initial areal capacitance even after a 10,000 GCD cycle at a current density of 0.1 mA cm(-2).
