Porous carbon exhibits considerable potential in energy storage field due to its remarkable electrical conductivity and adjustable pore structure. Nevertheless, the electrochemical performance of the material will be significantly impacted by its unreasonable pore structure. In this study, lignite was used as raw material to prepare lignite-based porous carbon by one-step activation method and the pore structure was optimized to improve its electrochemical performance and expand the utilization of low-rank coal. The results reveal that the porous carbon prepared at 600 °C has a higher specific surface area (940 m2 g−1) and a suitable pore structure (71 % mesopore), which enable adequate charge storage and fast transport of electrolyte ions, resulting in excellent electrochemical performance. In the three-electrode system, the lignite-based porous carbon exhibits a notable specific capacity of 331 F g−1 at the current density of 0.5 A g−1 and retains 96.4 % initial capacitance after undergoing 10,000 cycles. When assembled into a symmetrical supercapacitor, the device provides an energy density of 6.5 Wh kg−1 at a power density of 250 W kg−1. Even after 10,000 cycles, the capacitance retention rate is kept at 91 %, and the coulombic efficiency remains close to 100 %. These findings demonstrate that cost-effective porous carbon can be prepared by a simple route using lignite, hence exhibiting promise as electrode materials for high-performance supercapacitors.

Hierarchical porous MXene film with diffusion path optimization for supercapacitor

MXenes have immense potential in electrochemical energy storage owing to their outstanding physicochemical properties such as their oxygen-containing groups that impart additional pseudocapacitance to acidic electrolytes. However, during electrode assembly, MXene nanosheets undergo restacking because of hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces, which causes electrolyte ions to traverse long diffusion pathways between the long and narrow nanosheets. Exploiting the oxidative properties of Ti3C2Tx, a hierarchical porous MXene film with micro-, meso- and macroporous structures was successfully prepared using a simple hydrothermal oxidation and etching process to create micro- and mesoporous structures, followed by ice templating to prepare three-dimensional (3D) linked macroporous structures. Because these hierarchical pores have synergistic effects on electrochemical activity and electrolyte ion diffusion, the film attained a specific capacitance of 539F/g at a current density of 2 A/g when it was used as a supercapacitor electrode, which corresponds to one of the highest values reported for MXene-based electrodes. The film retained 83% of its specific capacitance when the current density was increased to 40 A/g, and exhibited excellent cycling stability. By using this multi-porous MXene design, synergistic improvement in ion diffusion was successfully realized and thus a new strategy to prepare high-performance supercapacitor electrode materials was developed.

MnO2 in V2O5 provides better structural stability with reasonable electrochemical performance, in which V2O5 enhances the cyclic stability and rate capabilities. The V2O5-MnO2 -based electrodes deliver a specific capacitance of 266 F g−1 at 0.5 A g−1 and are stable up to 6500 cycles with 97 % capacitance retention at 5 A g−1. The kinetic study depicts that composite electrodes have a 64 % diffusive and 36 % capacitive charge storage contribution to the overall charge storage at 1 mV s−1. In symmetric full cells, the composite materials show a wide active potential window of 2.5 V and retain 83 % capacitance after 10000 continuous GCD cycles at an applied current density of 2 A g−1. The promising charge storage performance is due to a suitable conducting matrix and the effective coating of MnO2 nanoparticles over the unique V2O5 niddle shape (two-dimensional) micro-rods.

Perovskite oxides with large specific surface areas present a promising avenue for enhancing supercapacitor efficiency. This study investigates the remarkable charge storage capabilities of strontium titanate (SrTiO3, STO) synthesized via sol-gel and hydrothermal techniques for electrochemical energy storage applications. The cubic crystal structure of STO, confirmed from X-ray Diffraction analysis, synthesized at lower temperatures through both methods, provides three-dimensional diffusion channels for oxygen anion movement, which is crucial for improving charge storage capacity. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed the elements’ oxidation states and their spin-orbit splitting. The spherical nanoparticle morphology was observed in the FESEM images, BET characterization revealed a high specific surface area contributing to more charge storage and mesoporous nature facilitates excellent mass transfer rates of electrolytic ions. Electrochemical measurements and calculations confirmed that sol-gel and hydrothermally synthesized STO electrodes exhibit maximum specific capacitances of 130 F g−1 and 156 F g−1 at 10 mV s−1, respectively. A fabricated flexible supercapacitor device in an aqueous medium maintains a constant voltage of 1.2 V, capable of powering a digital watch. Hence, this study demonstrates the potential of STO electrode-based supercapacitors for a wide range of electrochemical energy storage applications.

Capacitive behaviors for surface-sulfonated polyaniline nanofibers in different acidic electrolytes

Abstract Unique surface-sulfonated polyaniline nanofibers (PANI-S) were fabricated through one-pot polymerization to evaluate the feasibility of their applications as electrode materials for high-performance supercapacitors that can be operated in relatively weak acidic electrolytes. Benefiting from the self-doping effect and improved dispersion in aqueous solution for the nanofibers, as well as the effective buffering function of the electrolyte, the PANI-S exhibits excellent capacitive performance across a broad pH value range in acidic electrolytes. More clearly, the specific capacitance of the PANI-S remains remarkably stable, ranging from 752.4 to 754.4 F g−1 at a scan rate of 5 mV s−1 and from 575.4 to 536.8 F g−1 at a current density of 1 A g−1, as the pH value of the electrolyte varies from 0 to 6. However, the capacity retention rate of PANI-S gradually decreases from 79.2% to 37.2% as the current density increases from 1 A g−1 to 20 A g−1, with the pH of the buffered solution increasing from 0 to 6. The excellent electrochemical activity in low acidic electrolytes for PANI nanofibers can be attributed to the compensation effects of the self-doped local proton reservoir.

In a three-electrode system, the prepared electrodes delivered a high specific capacitance (242 F g−1 at 0.3 A g−1 in 6 M KOH solution). Furthermore, the capacitance retention of RH-800-3 remained at 99.9 % after 17,000 charge/discharge cycles. The results demonstrate the excellent capacitive behavior and superior electrochemical performance of RH-800-3. In addition, symmetrical capacitors prepared using RH-800-3 have an energy density of up to 101 Wh kg−1 at a power density of 900 W kg−1. Therefore, this study presents a simple and effective method for preparing a high-performance electrode material from biomass-derived porous carbon (i.e., recycled RH) and offers a new perspective for the efficient utilization of waste biomass resources.

Carbon materials are suitable electrode candidates in supercapacitors (SCs) because of their availability, well-defined microstructures, and ultrahigh surface areas. Herein, a universal chemical activation method was utilized to obtain activated carbon (C-KOH) from poly-anthraquinone sulfide (PAQS) at 850 °C and reduced activated carbon (C-KOH-H) from C-KOH via a mild hydrogen reduction process at low temperature. The electrochemical performances of the PAQS derived activated carbon electrodes were investigated by assembling electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs). Electrodes fabricated from C-KOH and C-KOH-H showed 174 and 182.3 F g−1 specific capacitances at 0.5 A g−1 current density, respectively. Whereas their energy densities were 44 and 46 Wh kg−1 at 350 and 423 W kg−1 power densities, respectively. SCs assembled from C-KOH-H showed excellent rate performance, that retained 140 F g−1 even at high current density (20 A g−1), while the one assembled with C-KOH stored 54 F g−1. Furthermore, the C-KOH-H electrode retained 98 % of the initial capacitance at 1 A g−1 over 20,000 continuous cycles. The experimental results revealed that C-KOH-H showed the best electrochemical performance in SCs, which is attributed to the presence of less sulfur and oxygen than C-KOH after the mild reduction. These results prove that PAQS show excellent activation with KOH to produce well-organized porous activated carbons having high specific surface areas, which can be utilized as high-performance electrode materials in SCs.
