Abstract
High-performance carbon-based cathode materials were prepared by means of a facile eco-friendly and cost-effective molten salt carbonization of lotus leaves in eutectic (Na/K)2CO3 melt at 850 °C for aqueous zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitors (ZHSCs). Coin-type ZHSCs assembled as Carbon//Zn@Zn3(PO4)2 delivered 164.3 F g− 1 at 0.2 A g− 1 and 95.2 F g− 1 at 20 A g− 1 with capacitance retention of 57.9% using 2 M ZnSO4 solution as electrolyte. Meanwhile, it delivered the maximum energy density of 65.2 Wh kg− 1 at 169.0 W kg− 1 and the maximum power density of 13.3 kW kg− 1 at 23.3 Wh kg− 1. Benefitting from the multifunctionally interface-modified Zn3(PO4)2 layer acting as physical barrier and Zn2+-transfer ionic conductor, it revealed outstanding recyclability with capacitance retention of 96.6% and coulombic efficiency of 99.6% after 10,000 charge-discharge cycles at 1 A g-1. The synergistic effect on energy storage performance was discussed between porous structure, specific surface area, heteroatom doping and electrical conductivity.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Porous Materials is an interdisciplinary and international periodical devoted to all types of porous materials. Its aim is the rapid publication
of high quality, peer-reviewed papers focused on the synthesis, processing, characterization and property evaluation of all porous materials. The objective is to
establish a unique journal that will serve as a principal means of communication for the growing interdisciplinary field of porous materials.
Porous materials include microporous materials with 50 nm pores.
Examples of microporous materials are natural and synthetic molecular sieves, cationic and anionic clays, pillared clays, tobermorites, pillared Zr and Ti
phosphates, spherosilicates, carbons, porous polymers, xerogels, etc. Mesoporous materials include synthetic molecular sieves, xerogels, aerogels, glasses, glass
ceramics, porous polymers, etc.; while macroporous materials include ceramics, glass ceramics, porous polymers, aerogels, cement, etc. The porous materials
can be crystalline, semicrystalline or noncrystalline, or combinations thereof. They can also be either organic, inorganic, or their composites. The overall
objective of the journal is the establishment of one main forum covering the basic and applied aspects of all porous materials.
