Abstract
In the 21st century, portable electronic products have become the mainstream development trend, and the development of supercapacitors with high power density, long cycle life, and fast charging and discharging capabilities is of great significance. In recent years, lignin based porous carbon has been widely studied in the field of supercapacitor electrode materials due to its environmental friendliness and the additional pseudocapacitance provided by oxygen-containing groups. This article reviews the preparation methods and optimization strategies of lignin based supercapacitor electrode materials, as well as the feasibility of using natural lignin precursors for supercapacitors. The synergistic mechanism between preparation methods and optimization strategies is discussed. Finally, the challenges currently faced by lignin based porous carbon electrode materials, limitations of existing technologies, and future research directions for improving the performance of lignin based carbon were emphasized.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry is published monthly in English by the Korean Society of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry. JIEC brings together multidisciplinary interests in one journal and is to disseminate information on all aspects of research and development in industrial and engineering chemistry. Contributions in the form of research articles, short communications, notes and reviews are considered for publication. The editors welcome original contributions that have not been and are not to be published elsewhere. Instruction to authors and a manuscript submissions form are printed at the end of each issue. Bulk reprints of individual articles can be ordered. This publication is partially supported by Korea Research Foundation and the Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies.
