Porous Activated Carbon

Biomass-based activated porous carbon (PC) with large porosity and high surface area has been considered as potential electrode material for supercapacitors. The spongy-like porous-activated carbon (SPAC) was prepared from millfeed by one-step carbonization/activation with KOH treatment. It shows three-dimensional (3D) spongy-like structure and high specific surface area (1535[Formula: see text]m2[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text]). The SPAC electrode exhibits a high specific capacitance (237.9[Formula: see text]F[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] at a current density of 0.5[Formula: see text]A[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text]) and a superior cycle stability (the capacitance retention of 95% after 10[Formula: see text]000 cycles at 2[Formula: see text]A[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text]) in 2[Formula: see text]M KOH electrolyte, while the SPAC reveals a high specific capacitance of 157[Formula: see text]F[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] at 0.5[Formula: see text]A[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text], good electrochemical stability with 93% capacitance retention after 5000 cycles in ionic liquids. Furthermore, the specific capacitance of SPAC//SPAC supercapacitor reaches 82.1[Formula: see text]F[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] at a current density of 0.5[Formula: see text]A[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] and achieves a high capacitance retention of 75% when the charging current increases to 10[Formula: see text]A[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] in 2[Formula: see text]M KOH electrolyte. The SPAC//SPAC supercapacitor possesses a high specific capacitance of 29.6[Formula: see text]F[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] at 0.5[Formula: see text]A[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] and a preeminent energy density of 27.8[Formula: see text]Wh[Formula: see text]kg[Formula: see text] (at a power density of 640[Formula: see text]W[Formula: see text]kg[Formula: see text]) in ionic liquids. This paper provides a convenient approach to synthesize low-cost biomass-based carbon material for supercapacitor applications.

A low-cost organic compound mainly comprising of polyarylate was selected as precursor and a chemical activation method was used to prepare an activated carbon material of large surface area, with which the activated carbon electrodes of high specific capacitance were fabricated for supercapacitor. Impact of activating temperature on the specific capacitance of activated carbon electrode was studied, the relationship between the pore structure, surface area and specific capacitance of activated carbon electrode were discussed. The specific capacitance and ESR (equivalent series resistance ) of the electrode fabricated with the activated carbon prepared at 700°C is 211F.g-1 and 0.2Ω/cm2 in hydrous electrolyte and the 122F/g and 1Ω/cm2 in orgnic electrolyte respectively. Because of the different ion diameter in orgnic and hydrous electrolyte, activated electrode show different electrochemical behavior in cyclic voltammetry examinations.

Transition metal phosphide alloys possess the metalloid characteristics and superior electrical conductivity and are a kind of high electrical conductive pseudocapacitive materials. Herein, high electrical conductive cobalt phosphide alloys are fabricated through a liquid phase process and a nanoparticles structure with high surface area is obtained. The highest specific capacitance of 286 F g−1 is reached at a current density of 0.5 A g−1. 63.4% of the specific capacitance is retained when the current density increased 16 times and 98.5% of the specific capacitance is maintained after 5000 cycles. The AC//CoP asymmetric supercapacitor also shows a high energy density (21.3 Wh kg−1) and excellent stability (97.8% of the specific capacitance is retained after 5000 cycles). The study provides a new strategy for the construction of high-performance energy storage materials by enhancing their intrinsic electrical conductivity.

Abstract Bamboo trees are one of the fastest growing trees in tropical rainforests around the world, they have various uses ranging from construction to fly ash generation used in oil and gas cementing, to development of activated carbon which is one of the latest uses of bamboo trees. This paper focuses on development of activated carbon from bamboo trees for carbon capture and sequestration. The need for improved air quality becomes imperative as the SDG Goal 12 and SDG Goal13 implies. One of the major greenhouse gases is CO2 which accounts for over 80% of greenhouse gases in the environment. Eliminating the greenhouse gases without adding another pollutant to the environment is highly sought after in the 21st century. Bamboo trees are mostly seen as agricultural waste with the advent of scaffolding and other support systems being in the construction industry. Instead of burning bamboo trees or using them for cooking in the local communities which in turn generates CO2 and fly ash, an alternative was considered in this research work, which is the usage of bamboo trees to generate activated, moderately porous and high surface area carbon for extracting CO2 from various CO2 discharge sources atmosphere and for water purification. This paper focuses on the quality testing of activated carbon that can effectively absorb CO2. The porosity, pore volume, bulk volume, and BET surface area were measured. The porosity of the activated carbon is 27%, BET surface area as 1260m²/g. Fixed carbon was 11.7%, Volatility 73%, ash content 1.7%.
