Leaf Fiber

The activated porous carbon anode material was successfully prepared from the agro-waste pineapple leaf fiber by using the simple hydrothermal technique and KOH chemical activation under heat treatment in Ar atmosphere. The obtained amorphous activated carbon with three-dimensional interconnected porous structure exhibited a high specific surface area of about 1520 m2/g. Furthermore, polyaniline (PANI) conductive polymer was grown on the porous carbon surface to promote its capacitance for the preliminary test as the anode for a lithium battery. The SEM characterization revealed the homogeneous longitudinal growth of polyaniline crystalline at the applied concentration of 0.03M aniline monomers on the surface of targeted porous carbon. The pineapple leaf fiber derived activated porous carbon could exhibit high capacity density as 320 mAh/g for the initial charge-discharge test and then substantially dropped to the reversible capacity of about 63 mAh/g at a current density of 0.5C. After composited with polyaniline, the porous carbon/polyaniline composite showed the superior initial capacity density of 425 mAh/g with the following improved reversible capacity by 27% relative to that of the bared porous carbon material. Moreover, the conducted porous carbon/polyaniline composite could also sustain higher cycle stability after 50 cycling tests.

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) porous carbon material enhances the electrochemical performance of symmetrical solid-state supercapacitors which are prepared by using abundant biomass waste as electrodes and (PVA-Li2SO4) gel polymer electrolyte. A saving and simple carbonization method with KOH chemical activation is developed for synthesizing highly porous carbon from peanut shell with high specific surface area of 1348 m2 g–1, which can be reused the chemical activation solution. The electrodes making by such three-dimensional porous carbon in a 1 M Li2SO4 electrolyte demonstrates a maximum specific capacitance of 386 F g–1 at current density of 2 A g–1, energy density and power density of 53.61 Wh k g–1 and 1000 W kg–1, respectively. The symmetrical solid state supercapacitors with sandwich structure of (3D porous carbon P/PVA-Li2SO4/3D porous carbon P) exhibits a maximum specific capacitance of 116 F g-1 at current density of 0.5 A g–1. The energy density and power density are the value of 9 W h kg–1 and 380 W kg–1, respectively. Further, the supercapacitors also demonstrate good cycling stability 89 % retention after 7000 cycles.

A porous carbon material was prepared from quinoa husk (QH) by carbonization and chemical activation with KOH. A series of experiments, including SEM (Scanning electron microscopy), FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared), XRD (X-ray diffraction), Raman, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and N2 adsorption/desorption, were carried out on the porous carbon produced from quinoa husk (PC–QH). The results showed that PC–QH was mainly composed of activated carbon and graphite. Moreover, PC–QH exhibited a high level of porosity with a BET (the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller theory) surface area of 1713 m2 g−1. As a representative dye, malachite green (MG) was selected to evaluate the performance of PC–QH to absorb the contaminants in dyeing wastewater. In batch adsorption experiments, PC–QH exhibited a high adsorption rate toward malachite green (MG). An uptake capacity of 599.90 mg g−1 was achieved in the initial 5 min, and the MG adsorption capacity of PC–QH reached 1365.10 mg g−1, which was higher than many other adsorbents. The adsorption data were well fitted with the Freundlich isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. PC–QH also displayed a high absorption rate to rhodamine B (RhB), methyl violet (MV), methylene blue (MB), and methyl orange (MO). The results in this study suggest that PC–QH can be a promising adsorbent for quick treatment of dyeing wastewater.

AbstractIn the present investigation, we report the incorporation of phosphorous (P) atoms in the activated carbon and study its effect on the electrochemical performance. Porous carbon is synthesized by the chemical activation method from a bioresource and then pretreated with nitric acid. Phosphorus atoms were doped by the simple chemical method. The obtained phosphorous-doped nano-materials show an appreciable change of porosity and creation of a more wide range of meso- and macropores, and this affects their adsorption and electrochemical performance. The electrochemical study shows that doped carbon obtained at 850 °C (ACtP-850) delivers the maximum specific capacitance (328 Fg−1) in neutral aqueous electrolyte (1 M Na2SO4). The doped carbon material not only exhibits good cycling performance but also the highest specific energy of 29 Wh kg−1 corresponding to a specific power of 646 W kg−1. The improved capacitive performance of phosphorous-doped porous carbon material proposes its use in energy storage applications.
