Abstract

With an emphasis on sustainability, this study attempts to turn waste battery components, especially anodic residues, into high-performance supercapacitor electrodes. Cobalt oxides were added in the anodic residues using a microwave route and an annealing process to improve the electrochemical performance. XRD analysis reveals that the prepared composites consisted of ZnO/MnO2/ZnMn2O4/Co3O4. The Co3O4 morphology was highly influenced by its concentration, determined using SEM. Spherical/cloudy-like nanohybrids were formed for composites consisting of 10 wt % Co3O4. Half-cell configurations were utilized to examine electrochemical properties, signifying a redox reaction based electrochemical process, and it yielded a maximum capacity of 687 C g–1 at 2 mA cm–2. Moreover, an asymmetric supercapacitor cell was fabricated using the composite consisting of 10 wt % Co3O4, and it could yield a specific energy of 33 Wh kg–1 (for total mass of active materials) and retained 30.3% of energy at a very fast rate of 15 652 W kg–1. Besides, the charged cell could power red LEDs for 120 seconds. This study highlights the enormous potential in converting waste materials into useful resources, therefore contributing to the achievement of the United Nations’ sustainable development goals through promoting affordable and clean energy, industry, innovations and infrastructure, and responsible consumption and production in the realm of energy storage.

微波辅助合成非对称超级电容器用Co3O4掺杂ZnO/MnO2/ZnMn2O4电极
本研究以可持续性为重点,试图将废旧电池组件,特别是阳极残留物转化为高性能超级电容器电极。采用微波法和退火法在阳极渣中添加钴氧化物,提高了阳极渣的电化学性能。XRD分析表明,复合材料由ZnO/MnO2/ZnMn2O4/Co3O4组成。用扫描电镜(SEM)对Co3O4的形貌进行了分析。由10 wt % Co3O4组成的复合材料形成球形/云状纳米杂化体。利用半电池结构来检测电化学性能,表明基于氧化还原反应的电化学过程,在2 mA cm-2下产生的最大容量为687 C g-1。此外,使用含有10 wt % Co3O4的复合材料制备了不对称超级电容器电池,它可以产生33 Wh kg-1的比能量(活性材料的总质量),并以15 652w kg-1的非常快的速率保留30.3%的能量。此外,充电后的电池可以为红色led供电120秒。这项研究强调了将废物转化为有用资源的巨大潜力,从而通过促进负担得起的清洁能源、工业、创新和基础设施,以及能源存储领域的负责任消费和生产,为实现联合国的可持续发展目标做出贡献。
