Abstract
High-performance biochar-based supercapacitors extremely depend on the reasonable microstructure of electrode materials, so optimizing pore structure and surface properties is an important research topic. In this paper, HNO3 and H2O2 were used to modify wood chip biochar, which enhanced the oxygen-containing functional groups of biochar and optimized the pore size distribution. NPCBC-45 and HPCBC-20 micropore sizes were concentrated at 0.92 nm and 0.90 nm, respectively, and the mesoporosity was 33 % and 65 %, respectively. The supercapacitors using NPCBC-45 and HPCBC-20 as electrodes exhibited excellent specific capacitance, reaching 338.88 F∙g−1 and 165 F∙g−1, respectively, which were increased by 137.39 % and 15.59 %, respectively. The prepared double-layer capacitor showed good cycle stability, and the cycle efficiency was 94 % after 2000 cycles. Therefore, the results of this study show that HNO3 and H2O2 have application value in optimizing the microstructure of carbon material electrodes.
期刊介绍:
Biomass & Bioenergy is an international journal publishing original research papers and short communications, review articles and case studies on biological resources, chemical and biological processes, and biomass products for new renewable sources of energy and materials.
The scope of the journal extends to the environmental, management and economic aspects of biomass and bioenergy.
Key areas covered by the journal:
• Biomass: sources, energy crop production processes, genetic improvements, composition. Please note that research on these biomass subjects must be linked directly to bioenergy generation.
• Biological Residues: residues/rests from agricultural production, forestry and plantations (palm, sugar etc), processing industries, and municipal sources (MSW). Papers on the use of biomass residues through innovative processes/technological novelty and/or consideration of feedstock/system sustainability (or unsustainability) are welcomed. However waste treatment processes and pollution control or mitigation which are only tangentially related to bioenergy are not in the scope of the journal, as they are more suited to publications in the environmental arena. Papers that describe conventional waste streams (ie well described in existing literature) that do not empirically address ''new'' added value from the process are not suitable for submission to the journal.
• Bioenergy Processes: fermentations, thermochemical conversions, liquid and gaseous fuels, and petrochemical substitutes
• Bioenergy Utilization: direct combustion, gasification, electricity production, chemical processes, and by-product remediation
• Biomass and the Environment: carbon cycle, the net energy efficiency of bioenergy systems, assessment of sustainability, and biodiversity issues.
