Abstract
The electrochemical properties of hard carbon (HC) have been investigated for use as negative electrode for lithium ion capacitors. The HC electrode was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) method. The HC negative electrode was galvanostatically prelithiated at 0.1C for three cycles between 0.05-2 V. The LIC with activated carbon and HC electrodes was characterized by cyclic voltammetric analysis at the scan rate of 0.1 mV s-1 with different voltage ranges. The rate capability of the LIC was tested up to 100C and the retention is 54 %. The cycle performance is retained up to 86% at 50C and 80% at 100C even after 10,000 cycles. The results indicate that hard carbon is suitable as negative electrode materials for high power energy applications.
