Abstract
In this study, the catalysis function of Na2CO3 to the structural properties of xylan char was well investigated with Na2CO3 on, and the electrochemical performance of xylan char as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries was tested. The characterization of X-ray microscopy and scanning electron microscopy demonstrated that the morphological structure of xylan char was altered due to the addition of Na2CO3 catalyst. The increasement of the Na2CO3/xylan ratio resulted in a slenderization of the triangular prism shape of the char skeleton and a reduction in porosity. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that Na2CO3 promoted the growth of the (004) crystal plane of graphite during xylan pyrolysis, while inhibiting the formation of the (100/101) crystal planes. Raman spectroscopy analysis indicated that the presence of Na2CO3 had changed the graphitization degree of xylan char. Electrochemical tests further showed that char prepared with a Na2CO3/xylan mass ratio of 1∶1 exhibited the highest sodium storage capacity. This study provides a pathway for the rational design carbon materials derived from xylan for future applications in energy storage devices.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Fuel Chemistry and Technology (Ranliao Huaxue Xuebao) is a Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS) journal started in 1956, sponsored by the Chinese Chemical Society and the Institute of Coal Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS). The journal is published bimonthly by Science Press in China and widely distributed in about 20 countries. Journal of Fuel Chemistry and Technology publishes reports of both basic and applied research in the chemistry and chemical engineering of many energy sources, including that involved in the nature, processing and utilization of coal, petroleum, oil shale, natural gas, biomass and synfuels, as well as related subjects of increasing interest such as C1 chemistry, pollutions control and new catalytic materials. Types of publications include original research articles, short communications, research notes and reviews. Both domestic and international contributors are welcome. Manuscripts written in Chinese or English will be accepted. Additional English titles, abstracts and key words should be included in Chinese manuscripts. All manuscripts are subject to critical review by the editorial committee, which is composed of about 10 foreign and 50 Chinese experts in fuel science. Journal of Fuel Chemistry and Technology has been a source of primary research work in fuel chemistry as a Chinese core scientific periodical.
