Abstract
In this study, a porous magnesium oxide composite (CMnAz) was synthesized via a simple and eco-friendly sol–gel method using azodicarbonamide (Az) as a nitrogen source. The CMnAz composite was integrated onto activated carbon cloth (ACC) to fabricate a flexible electrode for high-performance supercapacitors. Comprehensive structural characterizations, including SEM, TEM, SAED, XPS, FTIR, and BET, confirmed the high porosity, crystallinity, and compositional integrity of the composite. Electrochemical analyses revealed a specific capacitance of 450 F g−1 at 1 A g−1, with excellent rate capability (64 % retention at 20 A g−1) and cycling stability (about 88 % capacitance retention after 10000 cycles). The device also demonstrated a high energy density of 25 Wh kg−1 and a maximum power density of 16 kW kg−1, outperforming many existing ACC-based supercapacitor systems. Additional voltage-holding and self-discharge tests confirmed the structural stability and low leakage characteristics of the device. These findings underscore the potential of CMnAz/ACC composites as promising candidates for next-generation energy storage devices.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc.
The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
