	abstract = {<p>The relationship between the structure-specific capacitance (F g(-1)) of a composite electrode consisting of activated coconut-shell carbon and hydrous ruthenium oxide (RuOx(OH)(y)) has been evaluated by impregnating various amounts of RuOx(OH)(y) into activated carbon that is specially prepared with optimum pore-size distribution. The composite electrode shows an enhanced specific capacitance of 250 F g(-1) in 1 M H2SO4 with 9 wt.\% ruthenium incorporated. Chemical and structural characterization of the composites reveals a homogeneous distribution of amorphous RuOx(OH)(y) throughout the porous network of the activated carbon. Electrochemical characterization indicates an almost linear dependence of capacitance on the amount of ruthenium owing to its pseudocapacitive nature. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.

	abstract = {<p>The effectiveness of phosphoric acid doped polybenzimidazole as a polymer electrolyte membrane to fabricate an all solid-state super capacitor has been explored using hydrous RuO(2)/carbon composite electrodes (20 wt.\%) of surface area 250 m(2) g(-1) with many intrinsic advantages. The electrochemical evaluation of these super capacitors through cyclic voltammetry, charge/discharge and impedance measurements demonstrate the utility of this type of thin, compact and flexible supercapacitor capable of functioning at 150 degrees C to yield a maximum capacitance of about 290 F g(-1) along with a life of more than 1,000 cycles. A power density of 300 W kg(-1) and energy density of 10 Wh kg(-1) have been accomplished although the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of about 3.7 Omega needs to be reduced further for high rated applications.</p>},
