Abstract
A novel lignite-derived nitrogen-doped porous carbon (LNPC) has been fabricated through an easy pyrolysis method. Due to the preeminent synergistic effect of the porous structure and the nitrogen doping, LNPC has demonstrated superior capacitive behavior. The reversible capacitance of LNPC is 301, 260, 244, 233, 229 and 221 F g−1 at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 A g−1, respectively, which is superior to lignite-derived porous carbon (LPC). The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results demonstrate that nitrogen doping can improve the electron and ion transfer of the electrode. Moreover, the assembled symmetrical super-capacitor delivers a reversible capacitance of 45 F g−1 at 1 A g−1 with the capacitance retention of ∼100 % after 20,000 cycles.
采用易热解法制备了一种新型的褐煤衍生的氮掺杂多孔碳。由于多孔结构和氮掺杂的协同作用,LNPC表现出优异的电容性能。LNPC在1、2、4、6、8和10 A g−1时的可逆电容分别为301、260、244、233、229和221 F g−1,优于褐煤衍生多孔碳(LPC)。电化学阻抗谱(EIS)结果表明,氮掺杂可以改善电极的电子和离子转移。此外,组装的对称超级电容器在1 a g−1时提供45 F g−1的可逆电容,在20,000次循环后电容保持率为100%。
