Hierarchical Porous

Hierarchical micro-mesoporous carbon (denoted as HPC-2 in this study) was synthesized by pre-carbonization of biomass Sichuan pepper followed by KOH activation. It possessed well-developed porosity with the specific surface area of 1823.1 m2 g−1 and pore volume of 0.906 cm3 g−1, and exhibited impressive supercapacitive behaviors. For example, the largest specific capacitance of HPC-2 was tested to be ca. 171 F g−1 in a three-electrode setup with outstanding rate capability and stable electrochemical property, whose capacitance retention was near 100% after cycling at rather a high current density of 40 A g−1 for up to 10,000 cycles. Furthermore, a two-electrode symmetric supercapacitor cell of HPC-2//HPC-2 was constructed, which delivered the maximum specific capacitance and energy density of ca. 30 F g−1 and 4.2 Wh kg−1, respectively, had prominent rate performance and cycling stability with negligible capacitance decay after repetitive charge/discharge at a high current density of 10 A g−1 for over 10,000 cycles. Such electrochemical properties of HPC-2 in both three- and two-electrode systems are superior or comparable to those of a great number of porous biomass carbon reported previously, hence making it a promising candidate for the development of high-performance energy storage devices.

Capacitive Properties

As a renewable biomass and a low-cost crude carbon source, the ginkgo shell is explored for preparing high-value porous carbon via carbonization and the following KOH activation. Structure characterization shows that GSPC has microporous and mesoporous structure with specific surface area (SSA) of up to 1941 m2 g-1 , which exhibits superior capacitive properties. In a three-electrode system by using 6 M KOH as electrolyte, GSPC-700-1:2 could deliver a high specific capacitance of 345 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 . Even at a high current density of 20 A g-1 , the specific capacitance of as high as 280 F g-1 can be still maintained. Furthermore, a symmetric supercapacitor device (SCD) is fabricated by GSPC-700-1:2, which exhibits a capacitance retention rate of 83% at 5 A g-1 after 10000 charging/discharging cycles. A power density of 301 W kg-1 is achieved at an energy density of 13 W h kg-1 . The superior electrochemical performance demonstrates that ginkgo shell can function as a new biomass material for the production of porous carbon materials that are used in high-performance supercapacitors and other energy storage devices.

Facing the increasing demand for various renewable energy storage devices and wearable and portable energy storage systems, the research on electrode materials with low costs and high energy densities has attracted great attention. Herein, free-standing rGO-CNT nanocomposites have been successfully synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method, in which the hierarchical porous network nanostructure is synergistically assembled by rGO nanosheets and CNT with interlaced network distribution. The rGO-CNT composite electrodes with synergistic enhancement of rGO and CNT exhibit high specific capacitance, excellent rate capability, exceptional conductivity and outstanding long-term cycling stability, especially for the optimal rGO-CNT30 electrode. Applied to a symmetric supercapacitor systems (SSS) assembled with an rGO-CNT30 electrode and with 1 M Na2SO4 aqueous solution as the electrolyte, the SSS possesses a high energy density of 12.29 W h kg−1 and an outstanding cycling stability, with 91.42% of initial specific capacitance after 18,000 cycles. Results from these electrochemical properties suggest that the rGO-CNT30 nanocomposite electrode is a promising candidate for the development of flexible and lightweight high-performance supercapacitors.

MoO3@CoMoO4 hybrid is fabricated by a facile one-step hydrothermal method and is used as anode for lithium-ion battery (LIB). Compared to pristine MoO3, galvanostatic charge–discharge tests show that the hybrid electrode delivered a remarkable rate capability of 586.69[Formula: see text]mAh[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] at the high current density of 1000[Formula: see text]mA[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] and a greatly enhanced cyclic capacity of 887.36[Formula: see text]mA[Formula: see text]h[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] after 140 cycles at the current density of 200[Formula: see text]mA[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] (with capacity retention, 85.3%). The superior electrochemical properties could be ascribed to the synergistic effect of MoO3 and CoO nanostructure that results in the lower charge transfer resistance and the higher Li[Formula: see text] diffusion coefficient, thus leading to high performance Li[Formula: see text] reversibility storage.

A lignite-based activated carbon (LAC) for electrochemical capacitors (ECs) was prepared from high moisture lignite by KOH activation, and the as-prepared sample was characterized by the N 2-sorption, scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. The electrochemical performances of ECs with activated carbon as electrodes in 3 M KOH aqueous solution were evaluated by constant current charge-discharge and cyclic voltammetry. The LAC exhibits a well-developed surface area of 2581 m2/g, a relative wide pore size distribution of 0.5–10 nm. The ECs with LAC as electrode materials presents a high specific capacitance of 392 F/g at a low current density of 50 mA/g, and still remains 315 F/g even at a high current density of 5 A/g. The residual specific capacitance is as high as 92.9% after 2000 cycles. Compared with the commercial activated carbon (Maxsorb: Commercial product, Kansai, Japan), the LAC based electrode materials shows superior capacitive performance in terms of specific capacitance and charge–discharge performance at the high current density.

Abstract In this work, MnO2&SDBS electrodes with nano-honeycomb morphology were prepared by ultrasound-assisted electrochemical deposition using sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) as a surfactant agent. The effect and mechanism of SDBS on the morphology of MnO2 nanomaterials during the preparation of MnO2 by electrochemical anodic oxidation was systematically investigated by varying the content of SDBS in the precursor solution. When the SDBS concentration is 2 g\bulletL-1, the resulting electrode has the best electrochemical performance, and the specific capacitance is up to 407 F\bulletg-1 at the current density of 1000 mAg-1. To further enhance its performance, a carbon coating layer was deposited on the surface of the electrode using a method similar to chemical vapor deposition. Finally, the MnO2&SDBS@C electrode with a three-dimensional net-to-film composite structure with a high specific surface area, hierarchical structure and interconnect with nickel foam supports were obtained. The electrode has excellent electrochemical performance, and the specific capacitance is still up to 289 Fg-1 at a high current density of 5000 mAg-1. Furthermore, the specific capacitance of the electrode was maintained at 76.7% after 5000 cycles of charging and discharging at a current density of 2000 mAg−1.

Molybdenum sulfide (MoS2) has become a potential anode of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to its high theoretical capacity and low cost. However, the volume expansion, poor electrical conductivity and dissolution of polysulfides in the electrolyte during the cycling process severely limited its applications. Herein, few-layered MoS2@N-doped carbon (F-MoS2@NC) was synthesized through a facile solvothermal and annealing process. It was found that the addition of N-doped carbon precursor could significantly promote the formation of few-layered MoS2 and improve the performances of lithium and sodium storage. A high reversible capacity of 482.6 mA h g−1 at a high current density of 2000 mA g−1 could be obtained for LIBs. When used as anode material for SIBs, F-MoS2@NC hybrids could maintain a reversible capacity of 171 mA h g−1 at a high current density of 1,000 mA g−1 after 600 cycles. This work should provide new insights into carbon hybrid anode materials for both LIBs and SIBs.
