Abstract
This study presents an innovative approach for synthesizing hierarchical porous carbon materials (HPCMs) tailored for high-performance supercapacitors. The proposed method combines oxidative foaming with self-activation, in-situ template, in-situ activation and template synthesis, respectively, utilizing glucose reactions with oxidizing agents like ammonium persulfate (APS), magnesium nitrate hexahydrate (MNH), and potassium persulfate (KPS). The process involves two stages: low-temperature foaming to initiate macropore formation and high-temperature annealing to create meso/micropores through in-situ template and activation. Generally, increasing the ratio of oxidant to glucose in the synthesis process can notably enhance the high specific surface area and pore volume of the HPCMs with a combination of micro/meso/macropores, exhibiting maximum values of 821 m2/g and 0.61 cm3/g (APS), 2077 m2/g and 3.05 cm3/g (MNH), 1845 m2/g and 1.29 cm3/g (KPS), respectively. Furthermore, the O and N, or S elements, can also be in-situ doped in the carbon framework. The hierarchical porous structure and the doping elements enhance the electrochemical performance of supercapacitors. The APS@4, with a high mass loading of 3.2 mg/cm2, exhibits a superior specific capacitance of 144 F/g and an areal capacitance of 456 mF/cm2 at a current density of 1 A/g. It demonstrates excellent cycling stability based on a capacitance retention of 100 % after 10,000 cycles.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Advanced Powder Technology is to meet the demand for an international journal that integrates all aspects of science and technology research on powder and particulate materials. The journal fulfills this purpose by publishing original research papers, rapid communications, reviews, and translated articles by prominent researchers worldwide.
The editorial work of Advanced Powder Technology, which was founded as the International Journal of the Society of Powder Technology, Japan, is now shared by distinguished board members, who operate in a unique framework designed to respond to the increasing global demand for articles on not only powder and particles, but also on various materials produced from them.
Advanced Powder Technology covers various areas, but a discussion of powder and particles is required in articles. Topics include: Production of powder and particulate materials in gases and liquids(nanoparticles, fine ceramics, pharmaceuticals, novel functional materials, etc.); Aerosol and colloidal processing; Powder and particle characterization; Dynamics and phenomena; Calculation and simulation (CFD, DEM, Monte Carlo method, population balance, etc.); Measurement and control of powder processes; Particle modification; Comminution; Powder handling and operations (storage, transport, granulation, separation, fluidization, etc.)
