Abstract
Hierarchical porous carbon microspheres were prepared through solvothermal route with resorcinol and formaldehyde as precursors in HCl solution followed by pyrolysis at high temperature. The micropore size, graphitic carbon and surface C = O bond increase while mesopore size decreases as elevation of pyrolysis temperature. The presence of high specific surface area, micropore volume and amorphous carbon is beneficial to improve supercapacitor performance. The carbon material obtained at 1000 oC (C1000) has high specific surface area of 667.79 m2g− 1 and micropore volume of 0.35 m3g− 1, which shows the specific capacitance of 122 Fg− 1 at the current density of 1 Ag− 1 in 6 M KOH solution and good capacitance retention of 100% after 5000 cycles at 5Ag− 1. The specific surface area and micropore volume reduce as increase of pyrolysis temperature. Besides the high specific surface area, mesopore volume and surface C = O bond, the micropore size distribution contributes significantly to the adsorption of methylene blue (MB). The carbon material synthesized at 1200 oC (C1200) exhibits the adsorption equilibrium capacity of 99.3 mgg− 1 and capacity retention of 83.5% after five cycles.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Porous Materials is an interdisciplinary and international periodical devoted to all types of porous materials. Its aim is the rapid publication
of high quality, peer-reviewed papers focused on the synthesis, processing, characterization and property evaluation of all porous materials. The objective is to
establish a unique journal that will serve as a principal means of communication for the growing interdisciplinary field of porous materials.
Porous materials include microporous materials with 50 nm pores.
Examples of microporous materials are natural and synthetic molecular sieves, cationic and anionic clays, pillared clays, tobermorites, pillared Zr and Ti
phosphates, spherosilicates, carbons, porous polymers, xerogels, etc. Mesoporous materials include synthetic molecular sieves, xerogels, aerogels, glasses, glass
ceramics, porous polymers, etc.; while macroporous materials include ceramics, glass ceramics, porous polymers, aerogels, cement, etc. The porous materials
can be crystalline, semicrystalline or noncrystalline, or combinations thereof. They can also be either organic, inorganic, or their composites. The overall
objective of the journal is the establishment of one main forum covering the basic and applied aspects of all porous materials.
