Facile synthesis of nitrogen-containing porous carbon as electrode materials for superior-performance electrical double-layer capacitors
Source abstract
Abstract
Nitrogen-containing porous carbons with numerous micropores were fabricated by pyrolysing polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane following potassium hydroxide (KOH) activation at 600–900 °C for 2 h under N2 atmosphere. The fabricated nitrogen-containing porous carbons have a large specific surface area of approximately 2289 m2 g−1, a certain nitrogen content of 1.35 at.% and a favourable hierarchical porous structure possessing a great number of micropores and a part of mesopores. The carbon materials exhibit high specific capacitance of 338 F g−1 at 0.5 A g−1 in a 6 M KOH and outstanding cycling property of 91.6% maintenance at 2 A g−1 after 10000 cycles. An all-solid-state symmetrical supercapacitor with these as-prepared materials as electrodes can deliver energy densities of 21.9 to 10.4 W h kg−1 at power densities from 700.8 to 12910.3 W kg−1. To sum up, the as-obtained porous carbon is a type of potential electrode material for electrical double-layer capacitor.
