Enhanced Energy Density for P-Doped Hierarchically Porous Carbon-Based Symmetric Supercapacitor with High Operation Potential in Aqueous H₂SO₄ Electrolyte.

ABSTRACT: Phosphorus-doped hierarchically porous carbon (HPC) is prepared with the assistance of freeze-drying using colloid silica and phytic acid dipotassium salt as a hard template and phosphorus source, respectively. Intensive material characterizations show that the freeze-drying process can effectively promote the porosity of HPC. The specific surface area and P content for HPC can reach up to 892 m² g^-1 and 2.78 at%, respectively. Electrochemical measurements in aqueous KOH and H₂SO₄ electrolytes reveal that K⁺ of a smaller size can more easily penetrate the inner pores compared with SO₄²^-, while the developed microporosity in HPC is conducive to the penetration of SO₄^2-. Moreover, P-doping leads to a high operation potential of 1.5 V for an HPC-based symmetric supercapacitor, resulting in an enhanced energy density of 16.4 Wh kg^-1. Our work provides a feasible strategy to prepare P-doped HPC with a low dosage of phosphorus source and a guide to construct a pore structure suitable for aqueous H₂SO₄ electrolyte.

Fabricating an Aqueous Symmetric Supercapacitor with a Stable High Working Voltage of 2 V by Using an Alkaline-Acidic Electrolyte.

Project description:Aqueous symmetric carbon-based supercapacitors (CSCs) are always the research focus for energy storage devices because of the virtue of low cost, inherent safety, and encouraging electrochemical stability. As is well-known, so far most aqueous symmetric CSCs are subjected to low energy densities. Here, a symmetric supercapacitor comprising electrodes from biomass-derived activated carbon and alkaline-acidic electrolyte is reported. This aqueous symmetric CSC demonstrates exceptional electrochemical performance with high stable working voltage of 2 V and attractive cycling stability of no capacitance loss over 10 000 cycles. Impressively, it shows a remarkable energy density of 36.9 W h kg-1 at 248 W kg-1 based on the total mass of the active materials, which is much higher than traditional aqueous symmetric CSCs, and a power density of 4083 W kg-1 with an energy density of 8.8 W h kg-1. The use of stable alkaline-acidic electrolyte provides an innovative technique to enhance the energy density of aqueous supercapacitors.

Cobalt monoxide-doped porous graphitic carbon microspheres for supercapacitor application.

Project description:A novel design and facile synthesis process for carbon based hybrid materials, i.e., cobalt monoxide (CoO)-doped graphitic porous carbon microspheres (Co-GPCMs), have been developed. With the synthesis strategy, the mixture of cobalt gluconate, ?-cyclodextrin and poly (ethylene oxide)???-poly (propylene oxide)??-poly (ethylene oxide)??? is treated hydrothermally, followed by pyrolysis in argon. The resultant Co-GPCMs exhibits a porous carbon matrix with localized graphitic structure while CoO nanodots are embedded in the carbon frame. Thus, the Co-GPCMs effectively combine the electric double-layer capacitance and pseudo-capacitance when used as the electrode in supercapacitor, which lead to a higher operation voltage (1.6?V) and give rise to a significantly higher energy density. This study provides a new research strategy for electrode materials in high energy density supercapacitors.

Preparation and Properties of an Ultrahigh-Energy-Density Aqueous Supercapacitor with a Superconcentrated Electrolyte and a Sr-Modified Lanthanum Zirconate Flexible Electrode.

Project description:Although supercapacitors are considered to play a vital role in flexible electronic devices, there are still some problems that need to be overcome, such as low energy density and narrow electrochemical stability windows in aqueous electrolytes. Herein, we have successfully synthesized a series of Sr-modified La2Zr2O7 (LZO-x) nanofibers as a new electrode material by a facile electrospinning technique. To determine the best doping sample, the changes in structures and electrochemical performances of La2Zr2O7 (LZO-x) nanofibers with various Sr contents are investigated carefully. Then, the LZO-0.2 sample shows the highest capacitance (1445 mF·cm-2). Furthermore, we also develop a low-cost superconcentrated electrolyte, which achieves a wide electrochemical stability window of 2.7 V using a working electrode (LZO-0.2). Finally, we use the LZO-0.2 electrode and the superconcentrated electrolyte to fabricate a flexible supercapacitor device, which shows an excellent capacitance of 175 F·g-1 at a current density of 1.15 A·g-1. Moreover, the aqueous device has excellent cycle stability and outstanding flexibility, and the energy density of this device is 177.2 Wh·kg-1 and the corresponding power density is 1557.7 W·kg-1.

Organic Crosslinked Polymer-Derived N/O-Doped Porous Carbons for High-Performance Supercapacitor.

Project description:Supercapacitors, as a new type of green electrical energy storage device, are a potential solution to environmental problems created by economic development and the excessive use of fossil energy resources. In this work, nitrogen/oxygen (N/O)-doped porous carbon materials for high-performance supercapacitors are fabricated by calcining and activating an organic crosslinked polymer prepared using polyethylene glycol, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and 4,4-diphenylmethane diisocyanate. The porous carbon exhibits a large specific surface area (1589 m2·g-1) and high electrochemical performance, thanks to the network structure and rich N/O content in the organic crosslinked polymer. The optimized porous carbon material (COCLP-4.5), obtained by adjusting the raw material ratio of the organic crosslinked polymer, exhibits a high specific capacitance (522 F·g-1 at 0.5 A·g-1), good rate capability (319 F·g-1 at 20 A·g-1), and outstanding stability (83% retention after 5000 cycles) in a three-electrode system. Furthermore, an energy density of 18.04 Wh·kg-1 is obtained at a power density of 200.0 W·kg-1 in a two-electrode system. This study demonstrates that organic crosslinked polymer-derived porous carbon electrode materials have good energy storage potential.

High performing solution-coated electrolyte-gated organic field-effect transistors for aqueous media operation.

Project description:Since the first demonstration, the electrolyte-gated organic field-effect transistors (EGOFETs) have immediately gained much attention for the development of cutting-edge technology and they are expected to have a strong impact in the field of (bio-)sensors. However EGOFETs directly expose their active material towards the aqueous media, hence a limited library of organic semiconductors is actually suitable. By using two mostly unexplored strategies in EGOFETs such as blended materials together with a printing technique, we have successfully widened this library. Our benchmarks were 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)pentacene and 2,8-difluoro-5,11-bis(triethylsilylethynyl)anthradithiophene (diF-TES-ADT), which have been firstly blended with polystyrene and secondly deposited by means of the bar-assisted meniscus shearing (BAMS) technique. Our approach yielded thin films (i.e. no thicker than 30 nm) suitable for organic electronics and stable in liquid environment. Up to date, these EGOFETs show unprecedented performances. Furthermore, an extremely harsh environment, like NaCl 1M, has been used in order to test the limit of operability of these electronic devices. Albeit an electrical worsening is observed, our devices can operate under different electrical stresses within the time frame of hours up to a week. In conclusion, our approach turns out to be a powerful tool for the EGOFET manufacturing.

Graphene-carbon 2D heterostructures with hierarchically-porous P,N-doped layered architecture for capacitive deionization.

Project description:Exploring a new-family of carbon-based desalinators to optimize their performances beyond the current commercial benchmark is of significance for the development of practically useful capacitive deionization (CDI) materials. Here, we have fabricated a hierarchically porous N,P-doped carbon-graphene 2D heterostructure (denoted NPC/rGO) by using metal-organic framework (MOF)-nanoparticle-driven assembly on graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets followed by stepwise pyrolysis and phosphorization procedures. The resulting NPC/rGO-based CDI desalinator exhibits ultrahigh deionization performance with a salt adsorption capacity of 39.34 mg g-1 in a 1000 mg L-1 NaCl solution at 1.2 V over 30 min with good cycling stability over 50 cycles. The excellent performance is attributed to the high specific surface area, high conductivity, favorable meso-/microporous structure together with nitrogen and phosphorus heteroatom co-doping, all of which are beneficial for the accommodation of ions and charge transport during the CDI process. More importantly, NPC/rGO exhibits a state-of-the-art CDI performance compared to the commercial benchmark and most of the previously reported carbon materials, highlighting the significance of the MOF nanoparticle-driven assembly strategy and graphene-carbon 2D heterostructures for CDI applications.

Project description:Rational design and development of the electrodes with high-mass loading yet maintaining the excellent electrochemical properties are significant for a variety of electrochemical energy storage applications. In comparison with the slurry-casted electrode, herein, a hierarchically porous activated carbon (HPAC) electrode with higher mass loading (8.3 ± 0.2 mg/cm2) is successfully prepared.

On the other hand, an initial discharge capacitance of 32.4 F and the capacitance retention of 96% after 30,000 cycles are delivered from a pouch-type symmetric supercapacitor (five cells). The corresponding electrochemical performances are attributed to the fascinating properties of the HPAC and the synergistic features of the resulting electrode.

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.

A novel hierarchical porous nitrogen-doped carbon derived from bamboo shoot for high performance supercapacitor.

Project description:Porous N-doped carbons hold good prospects for application in supercapacitor due to their low-cost, large surface area, good surface wettability, high electrical conductivity as well as extra pseudocapacitance. However, most synthetic methods required the tedious and multiple-step process with the assistance of hard/soft templates or the massive use of chemical reagents, and exogenous nitrogen sources, which made them difficult to realize industrial production and application. Here, we described a novel hierarchical porous N-doped carbons fabricated by a facile and sustainable approach via hydrothermal treatment and subsequent carbonization process by using renewable bamboo shoots as the starting material without any templates, additional chemical activation and nitrogen source. The obtained bamboo shoot-derived carbons possessed a large BET surface area (up to 972?m2?g-1), hierarchically interconnected porous framework, rich and uniform nitrogen incorporation (3.0 at%). Benefiting from these unique features, the novel carbon-based electrode materials displayed a high capacitance of 412?F?g-1 in KOH electrolyte and long cycling life stability. Thus, an advanced electrode material for high-performance supercapacitor was successfully assembled by a simple and scalable synthesis route with abundant renewable resources freely available in nature.
