In this work, nanostructured La-based materials were produced by chemical precipitation method onto Cladosporium cladosporioides fungal hyphae in aqueous solution. Materials were annealed at various temperatures between 100°C-600°C. The morphological properties of the synthesized material were studied by transmission electron microscopy. The surface area for sample annealed at 360°C was determined to be 85.64 m²/g using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method. The nitrogen adsorption and desorption isotherm displayed a typical type-IV isotherm. Electrochemical properties of produced material were studied using cyclic voltammetry, long term charge/discharge analysis and impedance spectroscopy in the 0.5 M Na₂SO₄ electrolyte. The obtained nanostructured porous electrode exhibits quasi-rectangular shaped cyclic voltammetry curves with a specific capacitance of 2190 F/g at a scan rate of 2 mV/s.
The nickel oxide microtubes with high surface-to-volume ratio have been achieved using the Bacillus subtilis bacteria. Surface properties of the metal-oxide nanostructured materials were investigated by electron microscopy. The surface area of that was also studied by the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis method. The materials were used at the construction of supercapacitor as an electrode active material.
