Abstract
The manufacturing of porous carbon materials with low prices and excellent performance is crucial for the commercialization of supercapacitors. Here, a series of porous carbon converted from vinegar residue were obtained for the first time by adjusting the activation conditions. The optimal sample (VRPC 800-2-2) exhibits a high specific surface area, abundant defects and an appropriate pore structure, which facilitates efficient charge storage and favorable ion transport kinetics. As expected, it demonstrates a specific capacitance of 351.0 F/g at 0.5 A/g. The assembled symmetric supercapacitor achieves an energy density of 10.5 Wh/kg at a power density of 275.0 W/kg, along with excellent cycling stability. This study not only provides a sustainable approach for converting waste biomass into valuable energy storage materials but also highlights the potential of vinegar residue-derived porous carbon as a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative for supercapacitor applications.
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.
