Abstract
Using biomass waste materials to prepare electrode materials with excellent properties is an effective strategy for solving current energy and environmental problems. In this work, coffee grounds were pretreated with Co(NO3)2 and Ni(NO3)2, then KOH was used to activate the pretreated coffee grounds at a high temperature to obtain a foam-like electrode material with interconnected microporous-mesoporous-macroporous hierarchical channels. This preparation method is simple and has low energy consumption, and the resulting material has an ultra-low internal resistance of 0.31 Ω. The specific capacitance of CGC-2 is 302.65 F g−1 at a current density of 1 A g−1. The low internal resistance and high electrical conductivity of this activated material are attributed to the presence of Co2+ and Ni2+ during carbonization, whose catalytic effect leads to a relatively ordered lattice structure. The interconnected structure of the final product is mainly caused by the strong activation function of KOH generating many pores. The prepared material exhibits good rate performance and cycling stability, and it has a Coulombic efficiency of nearly 93%. This work provides a novel idea for using biomass materials to fabricate high-performance electrode materials for supercapacitors.
期刊介绍:
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials is a leading international journal that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration among materials scientists, engineers, chemists, biologists, and physicists working on composites, including nanocomposites. Our aim is to facilitate rapid scientific communication in this field.
The journal publishes high-quality research on various aspects of composite materials, including materials design, surface and interface science/engineering, manufacturing, structure control, property design, device fabrication, and other applications. We also welcome simulation and modeling studies that are relevant to composites. Additionally, papers focusing on the relationship between fillers and the matrix are of particular interest.
Our scope includes polymer, metal, and ceramic matrices, with a special emphasis on reviews and meta-analyses related to materials selection. We cover a wide range of topics, including transport properties, strategies for controlling interfaces and composition distribution, bottom-up assembly of nanocomposites, highly porous and high-density composites, electronic structure design, materials synergisms, and thermoelectric materials.
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials follows a rigorous single-blind peer-review process to ensure the quality and integrity of the published work.
