High energy density and extremely stable supercapacitors based on carbon aerogels with 100% capacitance retention up to 65,000 cycles.

ABSTRACT: In terms of ideal future energy storage systems, besides the always-pursued energy/power characteristics, long-term stability is crucial for their practical application. Here, we report a facile and sustainable strategy for the scalable fabrication of carbon aerogels with three-dimensional interconnected nanofiber networks and rationally designed hierarchical porous structures, which are based on the carbonization of bacterial cellulose assisted by the soft template of Zn-1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid. As binder-free electrodes, they deliver a fundamentally enhanced specific capacitance of 352 F ⋅ g^-1 at 1 A ⋅ g^-1 in a wide potential window (1.2 V, 6 M KOH) in comparison with those of bacterial cellulose-derived carbons (178 F ⋅ g^-1) and most activated carbons (usually lower than 250 F ⋅ g^-1). The as-assembled supercapacitors exhibit an ultrahigh capacitance of 297 F ⋅ g^-1 at 1 A ⋅ g^-1, remarkable energy density (14.83 Wh ⋅ kg^-1 at 0.60 kW ⋅ kg^-1), and extremely high stability, with 100% capacitance retention for up to 65,000 cycles at 6 A ⋅ g^-1, representing their superior energy storage performance when compared with that of state-of-the-art supercapacitors of commercial activated carbons and biomass-derived analogs.

Facile preparation of 3D porous agar-based heteroatom-doped carbon aerogels for high-energy density supercapacitors.

Project description:The fabrication of heteroatom-doped porous carbon materials with high electrical conductivity and large specific surface area via an environmentally friendly route is critical and challenging. Herein, nitrogen and oxygen co-doped agar porous carbon (APC) was developed for supercapacitors via a one-step carbonization method with agar as the raw material and ammonia as the activator and nitrogen source. APC outperformed pectin porous carbon, tamarind porous carbon, and the previously reported carbon-based supercapacitors with a high capacitance retention of 72% even from 0.5 A g-1 to 20 A g-1 and excellent cycling stability in 6 M KOH solution (retained after 10 000 cycles) with a rate of over 98.5%. Furthermore, the APC electrode-based symmetric device exhibited an impressive energy density of 20.4 W h kg-1 and an ultra-high power density of 449 W kg-1 in 1 M Na2SO4 electrolyte together with excellent cycling stability (103.2% primary capacitance retentivity after 10 000 cycles). This study offers a novel method for the synthesis of nitrogen heteroatom-doped hierarchical porous carbon materials for performance-enhanced energy storage devices.

Transition metal sulfides grown on graphene fibers for wearable asymmetric supercapacitors with high volumetric capacitance and high energy density.

Project description:Fiber shaped supercapacitors are promising candidates for wearable electronics because they are flexible and light-weight. However, a critical challenge of the widespread application of these energy storage devices is their low cell voltages and low energy densities, resulting in limited run-time of the electronics. Here, we demonstrate a 1.5?V high cell voltage and high volumetric energy density asymmetric fiber supercapacitor in aqueous electrolyte. The lightweight (0.24?g cm(-3)), highly conductive (39?S cm(-1)), and mechanically robust (221?MPa) graphene fibers were firstly fabricated and then coated by NiCo2S4 nanoparticles (GF/NiCo2S4) via the solvothermal deposition method. The GF/NiCo2S4 display high volumetric capacitance up to 388?F cm(-3) at 2?mV s(-1) in a three-electrode cell and 300?F cm(-3) at 175.7?mA cm(-3) (568?mF cm(-2) at 0.5?mA cm(-2)) in a two-electrode cell. The electrochemical characterizations show 1000% higher capacitance of the GF/NiCo2S4 as compared to that of neat graphene fibers. The fabricated device achieves high energy density up to 12.3?mWh cm(-3) with a maximum power density of 1600?mW cm(-3), outperforming the thin-film lithium battery. Therefore, these supercapacitors are promising for the next generation flexible and wearable electronic devices.

High-Density Lignin-Derived Carbon Nanofiber Supercapacitors with Enhanced Volumetric Energy Density.

Project description:Supercapacitors are increasingly used in short-distance electric transportation due to their long lifetime (≈15 years) and fast charging capability (>10 A g-1 ). To improve their market penetration, while minimizing onboard weight and maximizing space-efficiency, materials costs must be reduced (<10 $ kg-1 ) and the volumetric energy-density increased (>8 Wh L-1 ). Carbon nanofibers display good gravimetric capacitance, yet their marketability is hindered by their low density (0.05-0.1 g cm-3 ). Here, the authors increase the packing density of low-cost, free-standing carbon nanofiber mats (from 0.1 to 0.6 g cm-3 ) through uniaxial compression. X-ray computed tomography reveals that densification occurs by reducing the inter-fiber pore size (from 1-5 µm to 0.2-0.5 µm), which are not involved in double-layer capacitance. The improved packing density is directly proportional to the volumetric performances of the device, which reaches a volumetric capacitance of 130 F cm-3 and energy density of 6 Wh L-1 at 0.1 A g-1 using a loading of 3 mg cm-2 . The results outperform most commercial and lab-scale porous carbons synthesized from bioresources (50-100 F cm-3 , 1-3 Wh L-1 using 10 mg cm-2 ) and contribute to the scalable design of sustainable electrodes with minimal 'dead volume' for efficient supercapacitors.

Graphene-Graphite Polyurethane Composite Based High-Energy Density Flexible Supercapacitors.

Project description:Energy autonomy is critical for wearable and portable systems and to this end storage devices with high-energy density are needed. This work presents high-energy density flexible supercapacitors (SCs), showing three times the energy density than similar type of SCs reported in the literature. The graphene-graphite polyurethane (GPU) composite based SCs have maximum energy and power densities of 10.22 µWh cm-2 and 11.15 mW cm-2, respectively, at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and operating voltage of 2.25 V (considering the IR drop). The significant gain in the performance of SCs is due to excellent electroactive surface per unit area (surface roughness 97.6 nm) of GPU composite and high electrical conductivity (0.318 S cm-1). The fabricated SCs show stable response for more than 15 000 charging/discharging cycles at current densities of 10 mA cm-2 and operating voltage of 2.5 V (without considering the IR drop). The developed SCs are tested as energy storage devices for wide applications, namely: a) solar-powered energy-packs to operate 84 light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for more than a minute and to drive the actuators of a prosthetic limb; b) powering high-torque motors; and c) wristband for wearable sensors.

Amorphous nickel hydroxide nanospheres with ultrahigh capacitance and energy density as electrochemical pseudocapacitor materials.

Project description:Among numerous active electrode materials, nickel hydroxide is a promising electrode in electrochemical capacitors. Nickel hydroxide research has thus far focused on the crystalline rather than the amorphous phase, despite the impressive electrochemical properties of the latter, which includes an improved electrochemical efficiency due to disorder. Here we demonstrate high-performance electrochemical supercapacitors prepared from amorphous nickel hydroxide nanospheres synthesized via simple, green electrochemistry. The amorphous nickel hydroxide electrode exhibits high capacitance (2,188 F g(-1)), and the asymmetric pseudocapacitors of the amorphous nickel hydroxide exhibit high capacitance (153 F g(-1)), high energy density (35.7 W h kg(-1) at a power density of 490 W kg(-1)) and super-long cycle life (97% and 81% charge retentions after 5,000 and 10,000 cycles, respectively). The integrated electrochemical performance of the amorphous nickel hydroxide is commensurate with crystalline materials in supercapacitors. These findings promote the application of amorphous nanostructures as advanced electrochemical pseudocapacitor materials.

Rescaling of metal oxide nanocrystals for energy storage having high capacitance and energy density with robust cycle life.

Project description:Nanocrystals are promising structures, but they are too large for achieving maximum energy storage performance. We show that rescaling 3-nm particles through lithiation followed by delithiation leads to high-performance energy storage by realizing high capacitance close to the theoretical capacitance available via ion-to-atom redox reactions. Reactive force-field (ReaxFF) molecular dynamics simulations support the conclusion that Li atoms react with nickel oxide nanocrystals (NiO-n) to form lithiated core-shell structures (Ni:Li2O), whereas subsequent delithiation causes Ni:Li2O to form atomic clusters of NiO-a. This is consistent with in situ X-ray photoelectron and optical spectroscopy results showing that Ni(2+) of the nanocrystal changes during lithiation-delithiation through Ni(0) and back to Ni(2+). These processes are also demonstrated to provide a generic route to rescale another metal oxide. Furthermore, assembling NiO-a into the positive electrode of an asymmetric device enables extraction of full capacitance for a counter negative electrode, giving high energy density in addition to robust capacitance retention over 100,000 cycles.

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.

Free-standing supercapacitors from Kraft lignin nanofibers with remarkable volumetric energy density.

Project description:We have discovered a very simple method to address the challenge associated with the low volumetric energy density of free-standing carbon nanofiber electrodes for supercapacitors by electrospinning Kraft lignin in the presence of an oxidizing salt (NaNO3) and subsequent carbonization in a reducing atmosphere. The presence of the oxidative salt decreases the diameter of the resulting carbon nanofibers doubling their packing density from 0.51 to 1.03 mg cm-2 and hence doubling the volumetric energy density. At the same time, the oxidative NaNO3 salt eletrospun and carbonized together with lignin dissolved in NaOH acts as a template to increase the microporosity, thus contributing to a good gravimetric energy density. By simply adjusting the process parameters (amount of oxidizing/reducing agent), the gravimetric and volumetric energy density of the resulting lignin free-standing carbon nanofiber electrodes can be carefully tailored to fit specific power to energy demands. The areal capacitance increased from 147 mF cm-2 in the absence of NaNO3 to 350 mF cm-2 with NaNO3 translating into a volumetric energy density increase from 949 μW h cm-3 without NaNO3 to 2245 μW h cm-3 with NaNO3. Meanwhile, the gravimetric capacitance also increased from 151 F g-1 without to 192 F g-1 with NaNO3.

Flexible Asymmetric Supercapacitors with Ultrahigh Energy Density through Synergistic Design of Electrodes.

Project description:Despite being among the most researched energy storage devices, supercapacitors have often suffered from their relatively low operating voltage and energy density, which greatly limit their practical applications. In this work, asymmetric supercapacitors (ASCs) are developed by synergistically designing carbon nanotube composite electrodes with 3D porous structures. The resultant ASC devices exhibit an extended operating voltage of 1.8 V, much higher than that of symmetric supercapacitors (≤1.0 V). Significantly, the obtained ASC devices deliver ultrahigh volumetric energy density as high as 19.8 mWh cm-3 (corresponding to an areal energy density of 198 µWh cm-2), which is the highest value among reported ASC devices. In addition, the ASC devices not only possess outstanding cycling stability and long self-discharging time, but also exhibit excellent mechanical flexibility under any bending states, even over 5000 bending cycles. The demonstrated flexible ASC devices with high performance are promising to be used as power sources for next-generation portable and wearable electronics.

Improvement of system capacitance via weavable superelastic biscrolled yarn supercapacitors.

Project description:Yarn-based supercapacitors having improved performance are needed for existing and emerging wearable applications. Here, we report weavable carbon nanotube yarn supercapacitors having high performance because of high loadings of rapidly accessible charge storage particles (above 90?wt% MnO2). The yarn electrodes are made by a biscrolling process that traps host MnO2 nanoparticles within the galleries of helically scrolled carbon nanotube sheets, which provide strength and electrical conductivity. Despite the high loading of brittle metal oxide particles, the biscrolled solid-state yarn supercapacitors are flexible and can be made elastically stretchable (up to 30% strain) by over-twisting to produce yarn coiling. The maximum areal capacitance of the yarn electrodes were up to 100 times higher than for previously reported fibres or yarn supercapacitors. Similarly, the energy density of complete, solid-state supercapacitors made from biscrolled yarn electrodes with gel electrolyte coating were significantly higher than for previously reported fibre or yarn supercapacitors.
