Popis: In this work, ultrafine powders of b-FeOOH and Fe3O4 have been obtained by the precipitation method. The values of the specific surface area for materials b-FeOOH and Fe3O4 are 101 and 135 m2/h. Frequency dependences of specific electrical conductivity have been obtained in the temperature range of 20-150 oC. It has been found that the materials show a superlinear dependence (SPL). In addition, the crossover energies from dc to JPL and from JPL to SPL have been calculated: Edc = 0.55eV, Ep1 = 0.51eB, Ep2 = 0.16eB and Edc = 0.22 eV, Ep1 = 0.21eB, Ep2 = 0.1 eB. Potentiodynamic studies have been performed at a scan rate from 1 mV/s to 50 mV/s. The b-FeOOH electrode material showed a specific capacitance value of 80 F/g at a scan rate of 1 mV/s, while the specific capacitance of the Fe3O4 material reached 32 F/g. Galvanostatic measurements have been done for discharge currents of 0.05 A/g, 0.1 A/g - 0.25 A/g. b-FeOOH sample is characterized by the maximum specific energy value of 8 W h/kg at the value of specific power equal to 20 W/kg, and Fe3O4 material is characterized by the maximum specific energy of about 3.5 W h/kg.
