Molecules 2024; 29:1569. [PMID: 38611848 PMCID: PMC11013582 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29071569] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2024] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Sugar industries generate substantial quantities of waste biomass after the extraction of sugar water from sugarcane stems, while biomass-derived porous carbon has currently received huge research attention for its sustainable application in energy storage systems. Hence, we have investigated waste sugarcane bagasse (WSB) as a cheap and potential source of porous carbon for supercapacitors. The electrochemical capacitive performance of WSB-derived carbon was further enhanced through hybridization with silicon dioxide (SiO2) as a cost-effective pseudocapacitance material. Porous WSB-C/SiO2 nanocomposites were prepared via the in situ pyrolysis of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS)-modified WSB biomass. The morphological analysis confirms the pyrolytic growth of SiO2 nanospheres on WSB-C. The electrochemical performance of WSB-C/SiO2 nanocomposites was optimized by varying the SiO2 content, using two different electrolytes. The capacitance of activated WSB-C was remarkably enhanced upon hybridization with SiO2, while the nanocomposite electrode demonstrated superior specific capacitance in 6 M KOH electrolyte compared to neutral Na2SO4 electrolyte. A maximum specific capacitance of 362.3 F/g at 0.25 A/g was achieved for the WSB-C/SiO2 105 nanocomposite. The capacitance retention was slightly lower in nanocomposite electrodes (91.7-86.9%) than in pure WSB-C (97.4%) but still satisfactory. A symmetric WSB-C/SiO2 105//WSB-C/SiO2 105 supercapacitor was fabricated and achieved an energy density of 50.3 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 250 W kg-1, which is substantially higher than the WSB-C//WSB-C supercapacitor (22.1 Wh kg-1).

Abstract
Porous carbon materials have demonstrated exceptional performance in various energy and environment-related applications. Recently, research on supercapacitors has been steadily increasing, and porous carbon materials have emerged as the most significant electrode material for supercapacitors. Nonetheless, the high cost and potential for environmental pollution associated with the preparation process of porous carbon materials remain significant issues. This paper presents an overview of common methods for preparing porous carbon materials, including the carbon-activation method, hard-templating method, soft-templating method, sacrificial-templating method, and self-templating method. Additionally, we also review several emerging methods for the preparation of porous carbon materials, such as copolymer pyrolysis, carbohydrate self-activation, and laser scribing. We then categorise porous carbons based on their pore sizes and the presence or absence of heteroatom doping. Finally, we provide an overview of recent applications of porous carbon materials as electrodes for supercapacitors.

Abstract
In this work, nitrogen and fluorine co-doped porous carbon nanosheets (NFPCNS) were fabricated from pharmaceutical drug residues derived from the fermentation synthesis of lincomycin hydrochloride via high-temperature pyrolysis and subsequent KOH activation without adding any nitrogen and fluorine reagents. The obtained NFPCNS exhibits an optimized integration of three dimensional interconnected nanosheet structure, large specific surface area of 2912 m2 g-1, hierarchical porous structure with large mesopore proportion (Smeso/Smicro = 151.5%, Vmeso/Vmicro = 248.2%) and high level heteroatom content (13.2 at.% O, 4.3 at.% N and 1.0 at.% F). Therefore, NFPCNS based supercapacitors using 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate electrolyte exhibit an excellent gravimetric capacitance of 296F g-1 at 1 A g-1, good rate capability of 65% at 20 A g-1 and high energy density of 125 Wh kg-1. Furthermore, an ultra-high energy density of 173 Wh kg-1 and a long cycling life with 93% capacitance retention after 2000 cycles has been achieved by NFPCNS based supercapacitors with 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide electrolyte. NFPCNS should be a green and efficient electrode materials for next-generation high-energy supercapacitors.

Abstract
In this paper, hollow-tubular porous carbons were synthesized from abundant biomass Cycas fluff (CF) through simple carbonization followed by an NaHCO3 mild activation process. After activation, the tubular structure of the CF was retained, and a hierarchical structure of micropores, mesopores and macropores was formed. When the optimal mass ratio of NaHCO3/CF is 2, the obtained porous carbon CF-HPC-2 sample has a large specific surface area (SSA) of 516.70 m2 g−1 in Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) tests and a total pore volume of 0.33 cm3 g−1. The C, O, N and S contents of CF-HPC-2 were tested as 91.77 at%, 4.09 at%, 3.54 at%, and 0.6 at%, respectively, by elemental analysis. Remarkably, CF-HPC-2 exhibits a high volume capacitance (349.1 F cm−3 at 1 A g−1) as well as a higher rate capability than other biomass carbon materials (289.1 F cm−3 at 10 A g−1). Additionally, the energy density of the CF-HPC-2 based symmetric supercapacitor in 2 M Na2SO4 electrolyte at 20 kW kg−1 is 27.72 W h kg−1. The particular hollow tubular morphology and activated porous structure determine the excellent electrochemical performance of the material. Hence, this synthetic method provides a new way of storing energy for porous carbon as high volumetric capacitance supercapacitor materials. In this paper, hollow-tubular porous carbons were synthesized from abundant biomass Cycas fluff (CF) through simple carbonization followed by an NaHCO3 mild activation process.![]()

Abstract
Carbon-based supercapacitors have aroused ever-increasing attention in the energy storage field due to high conductivity, chemical stability, and large surface area of the investigated carbon active materials. Herein, eucalyptus-derived nitrogen/oxygen doped hierarchical porous carbons (NHPCs) are prepared by the synergistic action of the ZnCl2 activation and the NH4Cl blowing. They feature superiorities such as high specific surface area, rational porosity, and sufficient N/O doping. These excellent physicochemical characteristics endow them excellent electrochemical performances in supercapacitors: 359 F g−1 at 0.5 A g−1 in a three-electrode system and 234 F g−1 at 0.5 A g−1 in a two-electrode system, and a high energy density of 48 Wh kg−1 at a power density of 750 W kg−1 accompanied by high durability of 92% capacitance retention through 10,000 cycles test at a high current density of 10 A g−1 in an organic electrolyte. This low-cost and facile strategy provides a novel route to transform biomass into high value-added electrode materials in energy storage fields.

Abstract
In this study, nitrogen self-doped activated carbons (ACs) obtained via the direct activation of Samanea saman green leaves (SSLs) for high energy density supercapacitors were investigated. The SSL-derived direct-activated carbons (hereinafter referred to SD-ACs) were synthesized by impregnating sodium hydroxide as an activating agent and heating up to 720 °C without a hydrothermal carbonization or pyrolysis step. The optimum condition was investigated by varying the weight ratio of raw SSLs to NaOH. Surpassing the ACs derived from the two-step convention method, SD-ACs showed superior properties, including a higher surface area (2930 m2 g-1), total pore volume (1.37 cm3 g-1) and nitrogen content (4.6 at%). Moreover, SD-ACs exhibited enhanced electrochemical properties with specific gravimetric and volumetric capacitances of 179 F g-1 and 88 F cm-3 in an organic electrolyte, respectively, a high capacitance retention of approximately 87% at a current density of 0.5 A g-1 and excellent cycling stability of 97.5% after 3000 cycles at a current density of 5 A g-1. Moreover, the potential window of the supercapacitor cell was extended to 3.5 V with a significantly enhanced energy density of up to 79 W h kg-1. These results demonstrate that the direct activation of nitrogen-enriched SSLs offers advantages in terms of simplicity, low-cost and sustainable synthetic route to achieve nitrogen self-doped ACs for high energy density supercapacitors, which exhibit superior properties to that of ACs prepared via the conventional method.

The structure, composition and surface morphology of synthesized Co2SnO4 nanocubes have been characterized by using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) indicates that the Co2SnO4 nanocubes are crystalline, single-phase without any impurity phase; the sizes of nanocubes are ∼100 nm. The cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge cycling test, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements are carried out for the Co2SnO4 nanocubes shows a specific capacitance 237 F g-1 at 0.5 mA cm-2 current density and in 1 M Na2SO4 electrolyte. Co2SnO4 nanocubes exhibit long cycling life with 80% retention of initial capacitance after 2000 cycles and the excellent rate capability at 15 mA cm-2 as much as 70% of that at 0.5 mA cm-2 suggest its potential use for supercapacitor applications.

Abstract
Protic salts have been recently recognized to be an excellent carbon source to obtain highly ordered N-doped carbon without the need of tedious and time-consuming preparation steps that are usually involved in traditional polymer-based precursors. Herein, we report a direct co-pyrolysis of an easily synthesized protic salt (benzimidazolium triflate) with calcium and sodium citrate at 850 °C to obtain N-doped mesoporous carbons from a single calcination procedure. It was found that sodium citrate plays a role in the final carbon porosity and acts as an in situ activator. This results in a large surface area as high as 1738 m2/g with a homogeneous pore size distribution and a moderate nitrogen doping level of 3.1%. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements revealed that graphitic and pyridinic groups are the main nitrogen species present in the material, and their content depends on the amount of sodium citrate used during pyrolysis. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigation showed that sodium citrate assists the formation of graphitic domains and many carbon nanosheets were observed. When applied as supercapacitor electrodes, a specific capacitance of 111 F/g in organic electrolyte was obtained and an excellent capacitance retention of 85.9% was observed at a current density of 10 A/g. At an operating voltage of 3.0 V, the device provided a maximum energy density of 35 W h/kg and a maximum power density of 12 kW/kg.

Abstract
Sustainable synthesis schemes for the production of porous carbons with appropriate textural properties for use as supercapacitor electrodes are in high demand. In this work a greener option to the widely used but corrosive KOH is proposed for the production of highly porous carbons. Hydrochar products are used as carbon precursors. It is demonstrated that a mild alkaline potassium salt such as potassium bicarbonate is very effective to generate porosity in hydrochar to lead to materials with large surface areas (> 2000 m(2) g(-1) ) and a tunable pore size distribution. Furthermore, the use of KHCO3 instead of KOH gives rise to a significant 10 % increase in the yield of activated carbon, and the spherical morphology of hydrochar is retained, which translates into better packing properties and reduced ion diffusion distances. These features lead to a supercapacitor performance that can compete with, and even surpass, that of KOH-activated hydrochar in a variety of electrolytes.

Abstract
An efficient soft-template method is proposed for the synthesis of peanut shell-like porous carbon as high-performance supercapacitor electrode materials. The procedure is based on the pyrolysis and chemical activation processes using N-phenylethanolamine as precursor and KOH as activation agent. In a three-electrode system, the resultant carbon material has a specific capacitance of 356 F g(-1) at 1 A g(-1) and a good stability over 1000 cycles. Besides, at a high current density of 30 A g(-1), it has a specific capacitance of 249 F g(-1) and maintains 96% after 10,000 cycles. In two-electrode cell configuration, it delivers about 21.53 Wh kg(-1) at a current density of 20 A g(-1), which is about 7 times higher than the commercial device (<3 Wh kg(-1)). Both high specific capacitance and excellent cycling stabilities guarantee its utilization in supercapacitors.
