Nitrogen-doped Carbon Microfiber with Wrinkled Surface for High Performance Supercapacitors.

ABSTRACT: In this work, nitrogen-doped carbon microfiber (NCMF) is fabricated via a facile co-assembly of natural silk and graphene oxide (GO) and the following thermal treatment. The amphiphilic nature of GO endows NCMF a crumpled surface with a high surface area of 115 m(2) g(-1). As the binder-free electrode in electrical double-layer capacitors, NCMF shows an excellent capacitance of 196 F g(-1) at scan rate of 5 mV s(-1), which is almost four times higher than that of the pristine CMF from silk (55 F g(-1)). Additionally, the capacitance of NCMF can be kept around 92 F g(-1) at a high scan rate of 300 mV s(-1) even after 10000 cycles. More importantly, a high energy density (≈ 22.7 μW h cm(-2)) and power density (≈ 10.26 mW cm(-2)) are achieved by the all-solid-state supercapacitor based on NCMF.

Wrinkled Nitrogen-doped Carbon Belts.

Project description:Graphene, carbon nanotubes, and fullerenes are nanomaterials with outstanding properties such as electrical, thermal, mechanical strength, flexibility, and high surface area. These nanomaterials are used as building blocks for the construction of novel and astonishing 3D-dimensional networks. In the present work, nitrogen-doped carbon belt (N-CB) structures containing wrinkled carbon fibres as building blocks were synthesized under unstable conditions in a chemical vapour deposition experiment. N-CB structures with 0.2-3.0 microns of wide and 350 nm thick were assembled from complex individual wrinkled carbon fibres grown on Co/Cu films. These complex structures have a tubular appearance, showing holed and wrinkled graphite layers. Sulphur and copper atoms drastically affect the catalytic role of cobalt, changing the conventional growth of carbon nanotubes. Chemical functional groups, N-doping, and carbons hybridizations involved in the winkled carbon fibres are investigated. These findings provides a novel material that can be used as an excellent oxygen-reduction reaction catalyst or nano-electronics component.

Facile synthesis of crumpled nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanosheets with ultrahigh surface area for high-performance supercapacitors.

Project description:Porous carbon nanosheets are currently considered excellent electrode materials for high-performance supercapacitors. However, their ease of agglomeration and stacking nature reduce the available surface area and limit the electrolyte ion diffusion and transport, thereby leading to low capacitance and poor rate capability. To solve these problems, we report an adenosine blowing and KOH activation combination strategy to prepare crumpled nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanosheets (CNPCNS), which exhibit much higher specific capacitance and rate capability compared to flat microporous carbon nanosheets. The method is simple and capable of one-step scalable production of CNPCNS with ultrathin crumpled nanosheets, ultrahigh specific surface area (SSA), microporous and mesoporous structure and high heteroatom content. The optimized CNPCNS-800 with a thickness of 1.59 nm has an ultrahigh SSA of 2756 m2 g-1, high mesoporosity of 62.9% and high heteroatom content (2.6 at% for N, 5.4 at% for O). Consequently, CNPCNS-800 presents an excellent capacitance, high rate capability and long cycling stability both in 6 M KOH and EMIMBF4. More importantly, the energy density of the CNPCNS-800-based supercapacitor in EMIMBF4 can reach up to 94.9 W h kg-1 at 875 W kg-1 and is still 61.2 W h kg-1 at 35 kW kg-1.

Project description:Nitrogen-doped microporous carbon spheres (NMCSs) are successfully prepared via carbonization and KOH activation of phenol-formaldehyde resin polymer spheres synthesized by a facile and time-saving one-step hydrothermal strategy using triblock copolymer Pluronic F108 as a soft template under the Stöber-like method condition. The influence of the ethanol/water volume ratios and carbonation temperatures on the morphologies, pore structures and electrochemical performances of the prepared NMCSs are investigated systematically. The optimal NMCSs have a large specific surface area of 1517 m2 g- 1 with a pore volume of 0.8 cm3 g- 1. The X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy analysis reveals a suitable nitrogen-doped content of 2.6 at.%. The as-prepared NMCSs used as supercapacitor electrode materials exhibit an outstanding specific capacitance of 416 F g- 1 at a current density of 0.2 A g- 1, also it shows an excellent charge/discharge cycling stability with 96.9% capacitance retention after 10,000 cycles. The constructed symmetric supercapacitors using PVA/KOH as the gel electrolyte can deliver a specific capacitance of 60.6 F g- 1 at current density of 1 A g- 1. A maximum energy density of 21.5 Wh kg- 1 can be achieved at a power density of 800 W kg- 1, and the energy density still maintains 13.3 Wh kg- 1 even at a high power density of 16 kW kg- 1. The results suggest that this work can open up a facile and effective way to synthesize the NMCSs for electrode materials of high performance energy storage devices.

Nitrogen-doped hollow carbon spheres with tunable shell thickness for high-performance supercapacitors.

Project description:Nitrogen-doped hollow carbon spheres (NHCSs) are well prepared by using Cu2O microspheres as a hard template and 3-aminophenol formaldehyde resin polymer as carbon and nitrogen precursors. The thickness of the carbon shell can be easily controlled in the range of 15-84 nm by simply adjusting the weight ratios of the precursors to Cu2O microspheres, and the Cu2O templates can also be further reused. Physicochemical characterization demonstrates that the obtained NHCSs possess a well-developed hollow spherical structure, thin carbon shell and high nitrogen doping content. Due to these characteristics, when further utilized as electrodes for supercapacitors, the NHCSs with the carbon shell thickness of 15 nm show a high capacitance of 263.6 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1, an outstanding rate performance of 122 F g-1 at 20 A g-1 and an excellent long-term cycling stability with only 9.8% loss after 1000 cycles at 5 A g-1 in 6 M KOH aqueous electrolyte.

Project description:It is a considerable challenge to produce a supercapacitor with inexpensive raw materials and employ a simple process to obtain carbon materials with a high specific surface area, rich pore structure, and appropriate doping of heterogeneous elements. In the current study, yam waste-derived porous carbon was synthesized for the first time by a two-step carbonization and KOH chemical activation process. An ultra-high specific surface area of 2382 m2 g-1 with a pore volume of 1.11 cm3 g-1 and simultaneous co-doping of O-N was achieved for the optimized sample.

Moreover, in 6 M KOH electrolyte, the assembled symmetrical supercapacitor provides a large C of 387.3 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1. It also presents high specific energy of 34.6 W h kg-1 when the specific power is 200.1 W kg-1 and a praiseworthy specific energy of 8.3 W h kg-1 when the specific power is 4000.0 W kg-1 in 1 M Na2SO4 electrolyte. Thus, this study provides reference and guidance for developing high-performance electrode materials for supercapacitors.

Mild and Efficient One-Step Synthesis of Nitrogen-Doped Multistage Porous Carbon for High-Performance Supercapacitors.

Project description:Biomass-derived carbon materials have broad application prospects in energy storage, but still face problems such as complex synthesis paths and the massive use of corrosive activators. In this study, we proposed a mild and efficient pathway to prepare nitrogen-doped porous carbon material (N-YAC) using one-step pyrolysis with solid K2CO3, tobacco straw, and melamine. The optimized material (N-YAC0.5) was not only enriched with nitrogen, but also exhibited a high specific surface area (2367 m2/g) and a reasonable pore size distribution (46.49% mesopores). When utilized in electrodes, N-YAC0.5 exhibited an excellent capacitance performance (338 F/g at 1 A/g) in the three-electrode system, and benefitted from a high mesopore distribution that maintained a capacitance of 85.2% (288 F/g) at high current densities (20 A/g). Furthermore, the composed symmetric capacitor achieved an energy density of 14.78 Wh/kg at a power density of 400 W/kg. In summary, our work provides a novel and eco-friendly approach for converting biomass into high-performance energy-storage materials.

Project description:Recently, "Water-in-salt" electrolyte has been reported to extend the working voltage of aqueous supercapacitor. However, this electrolyte needs the electrode materials possess some good features such as proper pore structure, high electron and ion conductivity. Herein, we fabricated the nitrogen-doped multi-scale porous carbon (NMC) by the simple enriching melamine-resorcinol-formaldehyde xerogels method with integrating triblock copolymer for micro-pores formation. All the results confirmed that our NMC is provided with a very high specific surface area (3,170 m2 g-1) and its monoliths are composed of multi-scale porous structure. By employing the nanostructured NMC as electrode materials, we have investigated the capability for high-voltage aqueous supercapacitor applications. The superconcentrated "Water-in-salt" electrolyte expand stability operating potential window of aqueous symmetric supercapacitor up to 2.4 V with a high energy density of 33 Wh kg-1 at power density of 0.3 kW kg-1. Our studies indicate that the NMC is potential materials for high performance over wider voltage range.
