Abstract
Biomass-derived porous carbon has gained significant interest as ideal electrode material for supercapacitor owing to eco-sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and unique inherent microstructure. Herein, N, O co-doped porous carbons have been successfully obtained by single-step carbonization-activation method using waste pomelo peel as carbon source and KHCO3/CO(NH2)2 as activators. In the synthesis process, KHCO3 as a pore-forming agent plays an important role, and CO(NH2)2 is used to assist the pore-forming process as well as N doping. Benefiting from high specific surface area (1378.5 m2·g−1), predominant microporous structure and O, N co-doping, the best N, O co-doped porous carbon (denoted as PKNAC) exhibits high specific capacitance (364.5 F·g−1, 1 A·g−1), favorable rate performance (retaining 63.86 %, 50 A·g−1) and good cycling durability (97.32 % retention, 20,000 cycles). Notably, the assembled quasi-flexible symmetrical supercapacitor in PVA/KOH gel electrolyte achieves the energy density of 13.7 Wh·kg−1 at a power density of 350 W·kg−1. This work offers a convenient approach to prepare heteroatom-doped porous carbons from biomass waste for high-performance energy storage.
期刊介绍:
DRM is a leading international journal that publishes new fundamental and applied research on all forms of diamond, the integration of diamond with other advanced materials and development of technologies exploiting diamond. The synthesis, characterization and processing of single crystal diamond, polycrystalline films, nanodiamond powders and heterostructures with other advanced materials are encouraged topics for technical and review articles. In addition to diamond, the journal publishes manuscripts on the synthesis, characterization and application of other related materials including diamond-like carbons, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and boron and carbon nitrides. Articles are sought on the chemical functionalization of diamond and related materials as well as their use in electrochemistry, energy storage and conversion, chemical and biological sensing, imaging, thermal management, photonic and quantum applications, electron emission and electronic devices.
The International Conference on Diamond and Carbon Materials has evolved into the largest and most well attended forum in the field of diamond, providing a forum to showcase the latest results in the science and technology of diamond and other carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and diamond-like carbon. Run annually in association with Diamond and Related Materials the conference provides junior and established researchers the opportunity to exchange the latest results ranging from fundamental physical and chemical concepts to applied research focusing on the next generation carbon-based devices.
