Lanthanum Hydroxide Nanorod-Templated Graphitic Hollow Carbon Nanorods for Supercapacitors.

ABSTRACT: Lanthanum hydroxide nanorods were employed as both a template and catalyst for carbon synthesis by chemical vapor deposition. The resulting carbon possesses hollow nanorod shapes with graphitic walls. The hollow carbon nanorods were interconnected at some junctions forming a mazelike network, and the broken ends of the tubular carbon provide accessibility to the inner surface of the carbon, resulting in a surface area of 771 m²/g. The hollow carbon was tested as an electrode material for supercapacitors. A specific capacitance of 128 F/g, an energy density of 55 Wh/kg, and a power density of 1700 W/kg at 1 A/g were obtained using the ionic liquid, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, as the electrolyte.

Natural Halloysite-Templated Synthesis of Highly Graphitic Boron-Doped Hollow Carbon Nanocapsule Webs.

Project description:Hollow carbon nanocapsules have been attracting growing interest due to their fascinating characteristics and extensive potential applications. In this work, a novel natural halloysite-templated synthesis approach for highly graphitic boron-doped hollow carbon nanocapsule webs (B-HCNCWs) using glucose as the carbon source and boric acid as the heteroatom dopant was first reported. The formation process and physicochemical properties of B-HCNCWs were revealed by SEM, TEM, XRD, Raman, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and XPS characterization techniques. The outcomes showed that the as-obtained B-HCNCWs with hollow nanocapsule network architecture had a specific surface area of 263 m2 g-1, a pore volume of 0.8 cm3 g-1, a high degree of graphitization (81.4%), graphite-like interplanar spacing (0.3370 nm), and B-containing functional groups (0.77 at%). The density function theory (DFT) calculation demonstrated that the adsorption energies of Li on B-HCNCWs were much higher than that of HCNCWs, which proved that B-doping in a carbon matrix could increase the lithium intercalation capacity.

Lanthanum Oxide Nickel Hydroxide Composite Triangle Nanosheets for Energy Density Asymmetric Supercapacitors.

Project description:Transition metal hydroxides are a kind of promising electrode material in electrochemical energy storage, but the poor conductivity limits their application. Lanthanides are good proton conductors and can usually improve the intrinsic conductivity of other materials. By integrating the merits of lanthanide elements and transition metal hydroxide, we designed lanthanum oxide nickel hydroxide composites (LONH) with unique ultrathin triangle nanosheet morphology via a controllable synthetic strategy for high-performance supercapacitors. When the LONH is used as positive electrode material in aqueous asymmetric supercapacitor, it reveals an energy density (107.8 W h kg-1 at 800 W kg-1), rate performance (86.9% retention at 4 kW kg-1) and outstanding cycle stability (more than 90% retention after 3,000 cycles). This work confirms that compositing La2O3 and Ni(OH)2 can significantly improve the supercapacitor performance of both pristine La2O3 and transition metal hydroxide composites. We hope this work would offer a good prospect for developing other lanthanide-transition metal hydroxide composites as an attractive class of electrode materials in electrochemical energy storage.

Interfacial Phenomenon and Nanostructural Enhancements in Palladium Loaded Lanthanum Hydroxide Nanorods for Heterogeneous Catalytic Applications.

Project description:Hydrogenation and cross-coupling reactions are of great importance for industrial applications and noble metal based catalysts are filling the void since the last few decades. However, the high cost of noble metals and poor recycling performance provides an opportunity for chemists to look for alternate options. Herein, we present the use of Lanthanum hydroxide as support for loading ultra-low amount of Pd for hydrogenation and cross-coupling reactions. Lanthanum hydroxide having controlled morphologies comprises exposed crystallographic facets which interact with small sized Pd NPs and shows versatile and effective catalytic performance. The reduction of 4-NP over Pd/La(OH)3 was achieved within very short time (45s) with a rate constant of 60?×?10-3 s-1. The hydrogenation of styrene was also accomplished within 1?hour with much high TOF value (3260 h-1). Moreover, the Suzuki cross-couplings of iodobenzene and phenyl boronic acid into biphenyl completed within 35?min with a TOF value of 389 h-1. The strong interfacial electronic communication regulates electron density of catalytic sites and lowers energy for adsorption of reactant and subsequently conversion into products. Moreover, abundant hydroxyl groups on the surface of La(OH)3, large surface area, mono-dispersity and ultra-small size of Pd NPs also favors the efficient conversion of reactants.

Biocompatible Mesoporous Hollow Carbon Nanocapsules for High Performance Supercapacitors.

Project description:A facile and general method for the controllable synthesis of N-doped hollow mesoporous carbon nanocapsules (NHCNCs) with four different geometries has been developed. The spheres (NHCNC-1), low-concaves (NHCNC-2), semi-concaves (NHCNC-3) and wrinkles (NHCNC-4) shaped samples were prepared and systematically investigated to understand the structural effects of hollow particles on their supercapacitor performances. Compared with the other three different shaped samples (NHCNC-1, NHCNC-2, and NHCNC-4), the as-synthesized semi-concave structured NHCNC-3 demonstrated excellent performance with high gravimetric capacitance of 326?F?g-1 (419?F?cm-3) and ultra-stable cycling stability (96.6% after 5000 cycles). The outstanding performances achieved are attributed to the unique semi-concave structure, high specific surface area (1400 m2 g-1), hierarchical porosity, high packing density (1.41?g?cm-3) and high nitrogen (N) content (up to 3.73%) of the new materials. These carbon nanocapsules with tailorable structures and properties enable them as outstanding carriers and platforms for various emerging applications, such as nanoscale chemical reactors, catalysis, batteries, solar energy harvest, gas storage and so on. In addition, these novel carbons have negligible cytotoxicity and high biocompatibility for human cells, promising a wide range of bio applications, such as biomaterials, drug delivery, biomedicine, biotherapy and bioelectronic devices.

Preparation of Hierarchically Porous Graphitic Carbon Spheres and Their Applications in Supercapacitors and Dye Adsorption.

Project description:Hierarchical micro-/mesoporous graphitic carbon spheres (HGCS) with a uniform diameter of ~0.35 ?m were synthesized by Fe-catalyzed graphitization of amorphous carbon spheres resultant from hydrothermal carbonization. The HGCS resultant from 3 h at 900 °C with 1.0 wt % Fe catalyst had a high graphitization degree and surface area as high as 564 m²/g. They also exhibited high specific capacitance of 140 F/g at 0.2 A/g and good electrochemical stability with 94% capacitance retention after consecutive 2500 cycles. The graphitization degree of the HGCS contributed to 60% of their specific capacitance, and their specific capacitance per unit surface area was as high as 0.2 F/m², which was much higher than in the most cases of porous amorphous carbon materials reported before. In addition, the HGCS showed a high adsorption capacity of 182.8 mg/g for methylene blue (MB), which was 12 times as high as that in the case of carbon spheres before graphitization.

PolyHIPE Derived Freestanding 3D Carbon Foam for Cobalt Hydroxide Nanorods Based High Performance Supercapacitor.

Project description:The current paper describes enhanced electrochemical capacitive performance of chemically grown Cobalt hydroxide (Co(OH)2) nanorods (NRs) decorated porous three dimensional graphitic carbon foam (Co(OH)2/3D GCF) as a supercapacitor electrode. Freestanding 3D porous GCF is prepared by carbonizing, high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) polymerized styrene and divinylbenzene. The PolyHIPE was sulfonated and carbonized at temperature up to 850?°C to obtain graphitic 3D carbon foam with high surface area (389?m2 g-1) having open voids (14??m) interconnected by windows (4??m) in monolithic form. Moreover, entangled Co(OH)2 NRs are anchored on 3D GCF electrodes by using a facile chemical bath deposition (CBD) method. The wide porous structure with high specific surface area (520?m2 g-1) access offered by the interconnected 3D GCF along with Co(OH)2 NRs morphology, displays ultrahigh specific capacitance, specific energy and power. The Co(OH)2/3D GCF electrode exhibits maximum specific capacitance about ~1235?F g-1 at ~1?A g-1 charge-discharge current density, in 1?M aqueous KOH solution. These results endorse potential applicability of Co(OH)2/3D GCF electrode in supercapacitors and signifies that, the porous GCF is a proficient 3D freestanding framework for loading pseudocapacitive nanostructured materials.

Phase-controlled synthesis of ?-NiS nanoparticles confined in carbon nanorods for high performance supercapacitors.

Project description:A facile and phase-controlled synthesis of ?-NiS nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in carbon nanorods (CRs) is reported by in-situ sulfurating the preformed Ni/CRs. The nanopore confinement by the carbon matrix is essential for the formation of ?-NiS and preventing its transition to ?-phase, which is in strong contrast to large aggregated ?-NiS particles grown freely without the confinement of CRs. When used as electrochemical electrode, the hybrid electrochemical charge storage of the ultrasmall ?-NiS nanoparticels dispersed in CRs is benefit for the high capacitor (1092, 946, 835, 740?F g(-1) at current densities of 1, 2, 5, 10?A g(-1), respectively.). While the high electrochemical stability (approximately 100% retention of specific capacitance after 2000 charge/discharge cycles) is attributed to the supercapacitor-battery electrode, which makes synergistic effect of capacitor (CRs) and battery (NiS NPs) components rather than a merely additive composite. This work not only suggests a general approach for phase-controlled synthesis of nickel sulfide but also opens the door to the rational design and fabrication of novel nickel-based/carbon hybrid supercapacitor-battery electrode materials.

Construction of Ultrathin Nitrogen-Doped Porous Carbon Nanospheres Coated With Polyaniline Nanorods for Asymmetric Supercapacitors.

Project description:Porous carbon materials produced by biomass have been widely studied for high performance supercapacitor due to their abundance, low price, and renewable. In this paper, the series of nitrogen-doped hierarchical porous carbon nanospheres (HPCN)/polyaniline (HPCN/PANI) nanocomposites is reported, which is prepared via in-situ polymerization. A novel approach with one-step pyrolysis of wheat flour mixed with urea and ZnCl2 is proposed to prepare the HPCN with surface area of 930 m2/g. Ultrathin HPCN pyrolysised at 900°C (~3 nm in thickness) electrode displays a gravimetric capacitance of 168 F/g and remarkable cyclability with losing 5% of the maximum capacitance after 5,000 cycles. The interconnected porous texture permits depositing of well-ordered polyaniline nanorods and allows a fast absorption/desorption of electrolyte. HPCN/PANI with short diffusion pathway possesses high gravimetric capacitance of 783 F/g. It can qualify HPCN/PANI to be used as cathode in assembling asymmetric supercapacitor with HPCN as anode, and which displays an exceptional specific capacitance of 81.2 F/g. Moreover, HPCN/PANI//HPCN device presents excellent cyclability with 88.4% retention of initial capacity over 10,000 cycles. This work will provide a simple and economical protocol to prepare the sustainable biomass materials based electrodes for energy storage applications.

Self-Template Synthesis of Nitrogen-Doped Hollow Carbon Nanospheres with Rational Mesoporosity for Efficient Supercapacitors.

Project description:Rational design and economic fabrication are essential to develop carbonic electrode materials with optimized porosity for high-performance supercapacitors. Herein, nitrogen-doped hollow carbon nanospheres (NHCSs) derived from resorcinol and formaldehyde resin are successfully prepared via a self-template strategy. The porosity and heteroatoms in the carbon shell can be adjusted by purposefully introducing various dosages of ammonium ferric citrate (AFC). Under the optimum AFC dosage (30 mg), the as-prepared NHCS-30 possesses hierarchical architecture, high specific surface area up to 1987 m2·g-1, an ultrahigh mesopore proportion of 98%, and moderate contents of heteroatoms, and these features endow it with a high specific capacitance of 206.5 F·g-1 at 0.2 A·g-1, with a good rate capability of 125 F·g-1 at 20 A·g-1 as well as outstanding electrochemical stability after 5000 cycles in a 6 M KOH electrolyte. Furthermore, the assembled NHCS-30 based symmetric supercapacitor delivers an energy density of 14.1 W·h·kg-1 at a power density of 200 W·kg-1 in a 6 M KOH electrolyte. This work provides not only an appealing model to study the effect of structural and component change on capacitance, but also general guidance to expand functionality electrode materials by the self-template method.

Controlled growth of NiCo?O? nanorods and ultrathin nanosheets on carbon nanofibers for high-performance supercapacitors.

Project description:Two one-dimensional hierarchical hybrid nanostructures composed of NiCo2O4 nanorods and ultrathin nanosheets on carbon nanofibers (CNFs) are controllably synthesized through facile solution methods combined with a simple thermal treatment. The structure of NiCo2O4 can be easily controlled to be nanorods or nanosheets by using different additives in the synthesis. These two different nanostructures are evaluated as electrodes for high performance supercapacitors, in view of their apparent advantages, such as high electroactive surface area, ultrathin and porous features, robust mechanical strength, shorter ion and electron transport path. Their electrochemical performance is systematically studied, and both of these two hierarchical hybrid nanostructures exhibit high capacitance and excellent cycling stability. The remarkable electrochemical performance will undoubtedly make these hybrid structures attractive for high-performance supercapacitors with high power and energy densities.
