Effects of Fe Impurities on Self-Discharge Performance of Carbon-Based Supercapacitors.

ABSTRACT: Activated carbon is widely used as an electrode material in supercapacitors due to its superior electrochemical stability, excellent electrical conductivity, and environmental friendliness. In this study, the self-discharge mechanisms of activated carbon electrodes loaded with different contents of Fe impurities (Fe and Fe₃O₄) were analyzed by multi-stage fitting to explore the tunability of self-discharge. It is was found that a small quantity of Fe impurities on carbon materials improves the self-discharge performance dominated by redox reaction, by adjusting the surface state and pore structure of carbon materials. As the content of Fe impurities increases, the voltage loss of activated carbon with the Fe impurity concentrations of 1.12 wt.% (AF-1.12) decreases by 37.9% of the original, which is attributable to the reduce of ohmic leakage and diffusion, and the increase in Faradic redox at the electrode/electrolyte interface. In summary, self-discharge performance of carbon-based supercapacitors can be adjusted via the surface state and pour structure, which provides insights for the future design of energy storage.

Self-Discharge Processes in Symmetrical Supercapacitors with Activated Carbon Electrodes.

Project description:The self-discharge of an electric double-layer capacitor with composite activated carbon electrodes and aqueous electrolyte (1 M MgSO4) was studied in detail. Under a long-term potentiostatic charge (stabilization), a decrease in the discharge capacity was observed in the region of voltages exceeding 0.8 V. The self-discharge process consists of two phases. In the initial phase, the cell voltage drop is due to the charge redistribution inside electrodes. During the main phase, the charge transfer between the electrodes determines the voltage drop. The optimal stabilization time of the self-discharge was found to be 50 min at 1.4 V. Hydrophilization of the negative electrode occurred during long-term polarization due to the formation of epoxy functional groups.

High-performance symmetric supercapacitors based on carbon nanotube/graphite nanofiber nanocomposites.

Project description:This work reports the nanocomposites of graphitic nanofibers (GNFs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as the electrode material for supercapacitors. The hybrid CNTs/GNFs was prepared via a synthesis route that involved catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. The structure and morphology of CNTs/GNFs can be precisely controlled by adjusting the flow rates of reactant gases. The nest shape entanglement of CNTs and GNFs which could not only have high conductivity to facilitate ion transmission, but could also increase surface area for more electrolyte ions access. When assembled in a symmetric two-electrode system, the CNTs/GNFs-based supercapacitor showed a very good cycling stability of 96% after 10 000 charge/discharge cycles. Moreover, CNTs/GNFs-based symmetric device can deliver a maximum specific energy of 72.2 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 686.0 W kg-1. The high performance of the hybrid performance can be attributed to the wheat like GNFs which provide sufficient accessible sites for charge storage, and the CNTs skeleton which provide channels for charge transport.

Hierarchical Lignin-Based Carbon Matrix and Carbon Dot Composite Electrodes for High-Performance Supercapacitors.

Project description:This work adopts an efficient chemical-wet method to build a three-dimensional (3D) carbon composite as an electrode material for high-performance supercapacitors (SCs). Carbon dots (CDs), prepared by thermal pyrolysis of citric acid and urea under microwaves at 280 °C, are homogeneously coated onto lignin-based activated carbons (ACs), thus forming the 3D composites possessing an interior surface decorated with CD binding sites. Benefiting from the hydrophilicity and ultrafine size of CDs, the affinity of the electrode surface toward aqueous electrolytes is significantly improved with the addition of CDs, leading to the enhanced effective surface area (i.e., abundant electroactive sites) and a decreased ionic diffusion path. The capacitance of the SCs is improved from 125.8 to 301.7 F g-1 with CD addition. The SC with CD addition possesses improved cycle stability with a coulombic efficiency around 100% after 3000 cycles. After cycling, the ion diffusion coefficient of the CD@AC-11 electrode is enhanced by 25.5 times as compared to that of the pristine AC one. This unique and robust carbon framework can be utilized for engineering the desired pore structure and micropore/mesopore fraction within the AC electrodes. This strategy of CD@AC electrodes demonstrates a promising route for using renewable porous carbon materials in advanced energy-storage devices.

Composite Structural Supercapacitors: High-Performance Carbon Nanotube Supercapacitors through Ionic Liquid Localisation.

Project description:Composite structural supercapacitors (SSC) are an attractive technology for aerospace vehicles; however, maintaining strength whilst adding energy storage to composite structures has been difficult. Here, SSCs were manufactured using aerospace-grade composite materials and CNT mat electrodes. A new design methodology was explored where the supercapacitor electrolyte was localised within the composite structure, achieving good electrochemical performance within the active region, whilst maintaining excellent mechanical performance elsewhere. The morphologies of these localised SSC designs were characterised with synchrotron X-ray fluorescence microscopy and synchrotron X-ray micro-computed tomography and could be directly correlated with both electrochemical and mechanical performance. One configuration used an ionogel with an ionic liquid (IL) electrolyte, which assisted localisation and achieved 2640 mW h kg-1 at 8.37 W kg-1 with a corresponding short beam shear (SBS) strength of 71.5 MPa in the active area. A separate configuration with only IL electrolyte achieved 758 mW h kg-1 at 7.87 W kg-1 with SBS strength of 106 MPa in the active area. Both configurations provide a combined energy and strength superior to results previously reported in the literature for composite SSCs.

Nitrogen and Sulfur Self-Doped Activated Carbon Directly Derived from Elm Flower for High-Performance Supercapacitors.

Project description:N,S-Doped activated carbon was directly prepared via a facile and cost-efficient hydrothermal reaction, followed by alkali activation of elm flower (EL)-derived biomass. The EL-derived activated carbon (ELAC) had N and S contents of 2.21 and 6.06 atom %, respectively, in addition to a high Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of 2048.6 m2 g-1 and moderate pore volume of 0.88 cm3 g-1. Owing to its high BET surface area and N/S functional groups, ELAC achieved a specific capacitance of 275 F g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1 and retained a capacitance of 216 F g-1 at 20 A g-1. In addition, a symmetric supercapacitor based on N,S-self-doped ELAC electrode provided a capacitance of 62 F g-1 at a current density of 10 A g-1, with maximum energy and power densities of 16.8 Wh kg-1 and 600 W kg-1, respectively. The capacitance retention was also high, at 87.2%, at 4 A g-1 after 5000 cycles.

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.

High-performance Supercapacitors Based on Electrochemical-induced Vertical-aligned Carbon Nanotubes and Polyaniline Nanocomposite Electrodes.

Project description:Supercapacitors, which store electrical energy through reversible ion on the surface of conductive electrodes have gained enormous attention for variously portable energy storage devices. Since the capacitive performance is mainly determined by the structural and electrochemical properties of electrodes, the electrodes become more crucial to higher performance. However, due to the disordered microstructure and low electrochemical activity of electrode for ion tortuous migration and accumulation, the supercapacitors present relatively low capacitance and energy density. Here we report a high-performance supercapacitor based on polyaniline/vertical-aligned carbon nanotubes (PANI/VA-CNTs) nanocomposite electrodes where the vertical-aligned-structure is formed by the electrochemical-induction (0.75 V). The supercapacitor displays large specific capacitance of 403.3 F g-1, which is 6 times higher than disordered CNTs in HClO4 electrolyte. Additionally, the supercapacitor can also present high specific capacitance (314.6 F g-1), excellent cycling stability (90.2% retention after 3000 cycles at 4 A g-1) and high energy density (98.1 Wh kg-1) in EMIBF4 organic electrolyte. The key to high-performance lies in the vertical-aligned-structure providing direct path channel for ion faster diffusion and high electrochemical capacitance of polyaniline for ion more accommodation.
