The article describes the features of MoS2/mesoporous carbon nanocomposite creation and application as an electrode material for hybrid supercapacitors. The combination of these two materials improved the electrochemical characteristics in comparison with molybdenum disulphide or mesoporous carbon on their own; in particular the synergetic effect between them led to the reduction of internal resistance and increase of electric conductivity that are reflected in the maximum power of the capacitor. In spite of a large surface area of the mesoporous carbon obtained from the raw material of plant origin (2200 m2 g–1), the synthesized nanocomposite (430 m2 g–1) has almost twice higher specific capacity (57 Fg–1 and 110 Fg–1, respectively) due to the summary effect of EDL and faradaic processes in the material. The samples were characterized by X-ray difractometry (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), porosimetry, impedance spectroscopy, voltammetry, and chronopotentiometry.

Abstract The thermocatalytical synthesis conditions required for the activation of wood charcoal with NaOH in terms of the formation of pores in its structure were investigated. The present study was conducted to explore the potential application of activated carbons as electrodes in supercapacitors with organic electrolyte. The total pore volume and micro- and mesopore ratio were controlled by the activation temperature and alkali addition rate. The working characteristics of carbon electrodes (e.g., specific capacity and ohmic losses) in supercapacitors are strongly influenced by the properties of the pores in their structures. Herein, the optimal ratio of raw material to activator and activation temperature are established: an increase in the ratio of NaOH to carbonizate rate by a factor of 2 and setting the synthesis temperature at 700°C positively influence the electrochemical characteristics of supercapacitors and provide them with specific capacities of up to 160 F g-1.

ZnO has attracted considerable attention as electrode material in lithium-ion battery (LIB) due to its theoretically high capacity. However, poor electronic conductivity and huge volumetric changes during cycling limit its industrial applications. In this work, polypyrrole nanorings (PNRs) were successfully prepared via the solution chemistry method using pyrrole (Py) as raw material, ammonium persulfate (APS) as oxidant, and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as surfactant. The ZnO/PNR composite was synthesized with zinc oxide nanoparticles absorbed on the surface of PPy nanorings through the one-pot in situ sol-gel method. The composite shows a three-dimensional intertwined network structure where the size of polypyrrole nanorings ranges from 80 nm to 100 nm in diameter and the average size of uniformly distributed ZnO nanocrystals is 10.49 nm. The unique three-dimensional conductive framework can provide good electronic contact between the ZnO particles and buffer the volume variation during the lithiation/delithiation processes. As an electrode material for LIBs, the ZnO/PNR composite delivers a first cycle discharge capacity of 1658 mAh g-1 and a capacity retention of 50.7% over 150 cycles at 200 mA g-1, indicating high specific capacity and outstanding cycle stability.

In this feasibility study a novel prospective electrode material for electric double layer capacitors (EDLC) has been investigated. This promising material is activated carbon (AC) film produced using sago waste as a precursor. Important parameters of the technological process are the KOH to charcoal ratio and the content of the polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) binder. The influence of these parameters on the microtexture and pore structure and on the electrochemical characteristics of the AC films has been studied in detail. The measured specific surface area (SSA) of the samples is in the range from 212 to 1498 m2/g. It has been found that the presence of micropores increases the specific capacity while the presence of the mesopores acts in the opposite direction, because these mesopores are too wide in diameter for aqueous electrolyte. The specific capacitance of the studied samples has been found to be in the range from 16 to 64 F/g.

Silicon coated graphite particles prepared by gas suspension spray method were used as a raw material for the battery anode, which showed high specific capacity and good cycle performance. The improvement of electrochemical performance seems to be due to the formation of amorphous silicon-carbon black composite layer on the surface of the graphite particles. It has a stable structure under repeated volume expansion and contraction.

Carbon-based materials with multidimensional structures generally exhibit improved properties compared with single-morphology carbon materials for various applications including catalysis, adsorption, and energy storage. Here, an N-doped mesoporous carbon sphere and sheet composite is prepared by a co-assembly strategy using an ionic liquid ([C18Mim]Br) as the structure-directing agent, ethylenediamine as the catalyst, tetraethyl orthosilicate as the pore-forming agent, and resorcinol formaldehyde resin as the carbon precursor. [C18Mim]Br and ethylenediamine not only induce formation of the unique structure but also lead to in situ nitrogen doping on the N-doped mesoporous carbon skeleton. The obtained N-doped mesoporous carbon shows a unique composite structure of thin sheets embedded with carbon spheres, having high a specific surface area and uniform mesopore distribution. When used as an electrode material, the N-doped mesoporous carbon shows a good specific capacity of 273 F g−1 at a current density of 0.5 A g−1 and a good rate capability (82.1% of the capacitance is retained at a high current density of 10 A g−1). Moreover, the N-doped mesoporous carbon exhibited ideal stability behavior (91.6% capacitive retention after 10,000 cycles), indicating a promising role as an electrode material for excellent performance supercapacitors.

Mesostructured Carbon

Mesostructured carbon material CMK-3 for electrodes of electrochemical capacitors was obtained by the method of template synthesis. In order to increase the capacitance characteristics, impregnation of metal ions (Co, Ni, and Cu) into the structure of mesoporous carbon CMK-3 was carried out. The structure of the obtained materials was studied by X-ray diffraction and gas adsorption. The study by TEM showed that highly dispersed, nanosized particles are metal oxides Co, Ni and Cu with the size of 30-50 nm. The particles are uniformly distributed inside the carbon material. Electrochemical characteristics were studied in aqueous electrolytes (1M KCl and 1M KOH). It has been established that the impregnation of metal ions increases in the specific capacity of the mesoporous carbon material by about 30 % (from 110 to 156 F/g) in KOH

The Impact

Nanostructuration is one of the most promising strategies to develop performant electrode materials for energy storage devices, such as hybrid supercapacitors. In this work, we studied the influence of precipitation medium and the use of a series of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ionic liquids for the nanostructuration of β(III) cobalt oxyhydroxides. Then, the effect of the nanostructuration and the impact of the different ionic liquids used during synthesis were investigated in terms of energy storage performances. First, we demonstrated that forward precipitation, in a cobalt-rich medium, leads to smaller particles with higher specific surface areas (SSA) and an enhanced mesoporosity. Introduction of ionic liquids (ILs) in the precipitation medium further strongly increased the specific surface area and the mesoporosity to achieve well-nanostructured materials with a very high SSA of 265 m2/g and porosity of 0.43 cm3/g. Additionally, we showed that ILs used as surfactant and template also functionalize the nanomaterial surface, leading to a beneficial synergy between the highly ionic conductive IL and the cobalt oxyhydroxide, which lowers the resistance charge transfer and improves the specific capacity. The nature of the ionic liquid had an important influence on the final electrochemical properties and the best performances were reached with the ionic liquid containing the longest alkyl chain.
