Abstract
Resource use is crucial for the sustainable growth of energy and green low-carbon applications since the improper handling of biomass waste would have a detrimental effect on the environment. This paper used nano-ZnO and ammonium persulfate ((NH4)2S2O8, APS) as a template agent and heteroatom dopant, respectively. Using a one-step carbonization process in an inert atmosphere, the biomass waste furfural residue (FR) was converted into porous carbon (PC), which was applied to the supercapacitor electrode. The impact of varying APS ratios and carbonization temperatures on the physicochemical properties and electrochemical properties of PC was studied. O, S, and N atoms were evenly distributed in the carbon skeleton, producing abundant heteroatomic functional groups. The sample with the largest specific surface area (SSA, 855.62 m2 g-1) was made at 900 °C without the addition of APS. With the increase in adding the ratio of APS, the SSA and pore volume of the sample were reduced, owing to the combination of APS and ZnO to form ZnS during the carbonization process, which inhibited the pore generation and activation effect of ZnO and damaged the pore structure of PC. At 0.5 A g-1 current density, PC900-1 (FR: ZnO: APS ratio 1:1:1, prepared at 900 °C) exhibited the maximum specific capacitance of 153.03 F g-1, whereas it had limited capacitance retention at high current density. PC900-0.1 displayed high specific capacitance (141.32 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1), capacitance retention (80.7%), low equivalent series resistance (0.306 Ω), and charge transfer resistance (0.145 Ω) and showed good rate and energy characteristics depending on the synergistic effect of the double layer capacitance and pseudo-capacitance. In conclusion, the prepared FR-derived PC can meet the application of a supercapacitor energy storage field and realize the resource and functional utilization of biomass, which has a good application prospect.

[PMID: 39513772 PMCID: PMC11547934 DOI: 10.3390/nano14211692] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2024] [Revised: 10/20/2024] [Accepted: 10/21/2024] [Indexed: 11/15/2024]
Abstract
In this paper, we prepared a new type of iron and nitrogen co-doped porous carbon material (WSC-Fe/N) using a carbonization-activation process with wheat straw as a precursor and FeCl3 and NH4Cl as co-doping agents and analyzed the electrochemical properties of the resulting electrode material. Through precise control of the doping elements and carbonization temperature (900 °C), the resulting WSC-Fe/N-900 material exhibits abundant micropores, uniform mesopores, a significant specific surface area (2576.6 m2 g-1), an optimal level of iron doping (1.7 wt.%), and excellent graphitization. These characteristics were confirmed through X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Additionally, the WSC-Fe/N-900 electrode demonstrated a specific capacitance of 400.5 F g-1 at a current density of 0.5 A g-1, maintaining a high capacitance of 308 F g-1 even at 10 A g-1. The solid-state symmetric supercapacitor in an aqueous electrolyte achieved an energy density of 9.2 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 250 W kg-1 and maintained an energy density of 6.5 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 5000 W kg-1, demonstrating remarkable synergistic energy-power output characteristics. In terms of structural properties, the porous characteristics of WSC-Fe/N-900 not only enhance the specific surface area of the electrode but also improve the diffusion capability of electrolyte ions within the electrode, thereby enhancing capacitance performance. The reliability of the electrode material demonstrated good performance in long-term cycling tests, maintaining a capacitance retention rate of 93% after 10,000 charge-discharge cycles, indicating excellent electrochemical stability. Furthermore, over time, the aging effect of the WSC-Fe/N-900 electrode material is minimal, maintaining high electrochemical performance even after prolonged use, suggesting that this material is suitable for long-term energy storage applications. This study introduces a novel strategy for producing porous carbon materials for supercapacitors, advancing the development of economically efficient and environmentally friendly energy storage solutions.

Abstract
The hierarchical porous carbon-based materials derived from biomass are beneficial for the enhancement of electrochemical performances in supercapacitors. Herein, we report the fabrication of nitrogen-doped 3D flower-like hierarchical porous carbon (NPC) assembled by nanosheets using a mixture of urea, ZnCl2, and starch via a low-temperature hydrothermal reaction and high-temperature carbonization process. As a consequence, the optimized mass ratio for the mixture is 2:2:2 and the temperature is 700 °C. The NPC structures are capable of electron transport and ion diffusion owing to their high specific surface area (1498.4 m2 g-1) and rich heteroatoms. Thereby, the resultant NPC electrodes display excellent capacitive performance, with a high specific capacitance of 249.7 F g-1 at 1.0 A g-1 and good cycling stability. Remarkably, this implies a superior energy density of 42.98 Wh kg-1 with a power density of 7500 W kg-1 in organic electrolyte for the symmetrical supercapacitor. This result verifies the good performance of as-synthesized carbon materials in capacitive energy storage applications, which is inseparable from the hierarchical porous features of the materials.

Abstract
Construction of Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) with heterostructure is beneficial to preparing PBAs derivatives with superior electrochemical performance. In this work, the core-shell nanostructured nanocubes composed of nickel hexacyanocobalt PBA (NiCo-PBA)@cobalt carbonate hydroxide (CCH) are synthesized through an in-situ epitaxial growth strategy, and the formation mechanisms of coating are carefully validated and specifically discussed. Then, the precursors are successfully transformed into hierarchical CoNi2S4/Co9S8@Co4S3 via the gas-phase vulcanization method. Benefiting from the intriguing heterostructure and multicomponent sulfides, the CoNi2S4/Co9S8@Co4S3-80 electrode exhibits a high specific capacity of 799 ± 16C/g (specific capacitance of 1595 ± 31F/g) at 1 A/g, ultra-high capacity retention of 80 % at a high current density of 20 A/g. The assembled asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) device delivers a high energy density of 43.3 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 899 W kg-1 and exhibits superior cycling stability with the capacity retention of 88 % after 5,000 cycles. Subsequently, the fabricated all-solid-state ASC device shows an excellent energy density of 36.4 Wh kg-1 with a power density of 824 W kg-1. This work proposing rational design of combining multicomponent sulfides and core-shell heterostructure based on PBA nanocubes opens up a novel route for developing asymmetric supercapacitor electrode materials with superior performance.

Abstract
Nitrogen and sulfur co-doped graphene-like carbon nanosheets (CNSs) with a two-dimensional structure are prepared by using methylene blue as a carbon source and expanded vermiculite as a template. After static negative pressure adsorption, high-temperature calcination, and etching in a vacuum oven, they are embedded in the limited space of the vermiculite template. The addition of an appropriate number of mixed elements can improve the performance of a battery. Via scanning electron microscopy, it is found that the prepared nitrogen-sulfur-co-doped carbon nanosheets exhibit a thin yarn shape. The XPS results show that there are four elements of C, N, O, and S in the carbon materials (CNS-600, CNS-700, CNS-800, CNS-900) prepared at different temperatures, and the N atom content shows a gradually decreasing trend. It is mainly doped into a graphene-like network in four ways (graphite nitrogen, pyridine nitrogen, pyrrole nitrogen, and pyridine nitrogen oxide), while the S element shows an increasing trend, mainly in the form of thiophene S and sulfur, which is covalently linked to oxygen. The results show that CNS-700 has a discharge-specific capacity of 460 mAh/g at a current density of 0.1 A/g, and it can still maintain a specific capacity of 200 mAh/g at a current density of 2 A/g. The assembled lithium-ion capacitor has excellent energy density and power density, with a maximum power density of 20,000 W/kg.

Abstract
The need for inexpensive and ecologically sustainable energy storage technologies is rising rapidly along with the severity of the world's environmental challenges as well as with the rising demand for portable electronics and hybrid vehicles. Supercapacitors have drawn a lot of attentions lately in this regard because of their ultrahigh power density, outstanding electrochemical stability, and environmental friendliness. Due to various advantages, carbon materials are the choice of designer for developing commercial electrodes for various applications including devising supercapacitors. Two-dimensional (2D) carbon nanosheets (CNSs) with a large surface area and excellent electronic transport properties have fired up the interest of researchers due to their unique properties and potential applications in energy storage. Such engineered 2D porous CNS may significantly improve the energy storage performance of supercapacitor by enabling fast ion transport and charge transfer kinetics. This article summarizes the most recent and significant advances in the area of activated, porous, graphene-based various CNSs and their composites with a special focus on their use as supercapacitor electrodes. A succinct overview about their syntheses and key characterizations regarding their different structural aspects have been discussed. The present challenges and prospects in using CNS in supercapacitor applications are highlighted.

Abstract
The emerging deep eutectic solvent (DES) electrolyte has great potential in realizing commercial-scale application of electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) served in low temperature environment. That goal, however, rests with how to design the interface structure of electrode materials for well-matching with DES electrolyte. Herein, porous carbon nanosheets (PCNs) were obtained from coal tar pitch through Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction and melting salt intercalation process. The morphology, specific surface area and porosity of porous carbon nanosheets were regulated by tailoring the abundance of the dangling-bonds grafted on the CTP molecules. Profiting from the large specific surface area, suitable pore structure and good two-dimensional structure to provide more active sites and enhance ion transport capacity, the PCNs-0.10 delivers a maximal specific capacitance of 504F g-1 at 0.1 A g-1, which is overmatch than most of previously reported for other carbon materials. As-assembled symmetrical EDLCs using K+ DES electrolyte, can be assembled to work at -40 °C to 75 °C and exhibit satisfactory energy density. The strategy proposed here has opened a new way for exploring the large-scale preparation of electrode materials suitable for ultra-low temperature capacitors.

Abstract
This paper proposes a different strategy for deriving carbon materials from biomass, abandoning traditional strong corrosive activators and using a top-down approach with a mild green enzyme targeted to degrade the pectin matrix in the inner layer of pomelo peel cotton wool, inducing a large number of nanopores on its surface. Meanwhile, the additional hydrophilic groups produced via an enzymatic treatment can be used to effectively anchor the metallic iron atoms and prepare porous carbon with uniformly dispersed Fe-Nx structures, in this case optimizing sample PPE-FeNPC-900's specific surface area by up to 1435 m2 g-1. PPE-FeNPC-900 is used as the electrode material in a 6 M KOH electrolyte; it manifests a decent specific capacitance of 400 F g-1. The assembled symmetrical supercapacitor exhibits a high energy density of 12.8 Wh kg-1 at a 300 W kg-1 power density and excellent cycle stability. As a catalyst, it also exhibits a half-wave potential of 0.850 V (vs. RHE) and a diffusion-limited current of 5.79 mA cm-2 at 0.3 V (vs. RHE). It has a higher electron transfer number and a lower hydrogen peroxide yield compared to commercial Pt/C catalysts. The green, simple, and efficient strategy designed in this study converts abundant, low-cost waste biomass into high-value multifunctional carbon materials, which are critical for achieving multifunctional applications.

Contamination of phenolic compounds has devastating effects on the environment. Therefore, its harmless treatment and recycling have received extensive attention. Herein, a novel method for preparing N-S doped phenolic resin (NSPR) from phenols, N and S groups in semi-coking wastewater, and formaldehyde are developed. The KOH is consequently incorporated into the NSPR through simultaneous carbonization and activation in a single step to produce porous carbon material (NSPC). The as-obtained NSPC exhibits a high specific capacitance of 182 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1, a high energy density of 9.1 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 0.15 kW kg-1, and remarkable cycling stability in aqueous KOH electrolyte. This outstanding electrochemical performance is attributed to its ultrahigh specific surface area (SSA, 2,523 m2 g-1), enormous total pore volume (Vt, 1.30 cm3 g-1), rational pore structure, and N-S heteroatom self-doping (0.76 at% N and 0.914 at% S), which ensures adequate charge storage, rapid electrolyte ion diffusion, and contributed pseudo-capacitance. This work not only provides a facile method for transforming phenolic wastewater into high-value products but also offers a cost-effective and high-performance porous carbon material for supercapacitors.

Abstract
Heteroatom-doped three-dimensional (3D) porous carbons possess great potential as promising electrodes for high-performance supercapacitors. Inspired by the inherent features of intumescent flame retardants (IFRs) with universal availability, rich heteroatoms and easy thermal-carbonization to form porous carbons, herein we proposed a self-assembling and template self-activation strategy to produce N/P dual-doped 3D porous carbons by nano-CaCO3 template-assistant carbonization of IFRs. The IFRs-derived carbon exhibited large specific surface area, well-balanced hierarchical porosity, high N/P contents and interconnected 3D skeleton. Benefitting from these predominant characteristics on structure and composition, the assembled supercapacitive electrodes exhibited outstanding electrochemical performances. In three-electrode 6 M KOH system, it delivered high specific capacitances of 407 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1, and good rate capability of 61.2% capacitance retention at 20 A g-1. In two-electrode organic EMIMBF4/PC system, its displayed high energy density of 62.8 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 748.4 W kg-1, meanwhile it had excellent cycling stability with 84.7% capacitance retention after 10,000 cycles. To our best knowledge, it is the first example to synthesize porous carbon from IFRs precursor. Thus, the current work paved a novel and low-cost way for the production of high-valued carbon material, and expanded its application for high-performance energy storage devices.

Abstract
Nanocomposite electrodes receive much attention because of their excellent energy storage nature. Electrodes for supercapacitors have come a major source of interest. In this pursuit, the current work elucidates binder-free coral reefs resembling ZnO/CoS2 nanoarchitectures synthesized on the surface of Ni foams employing the cost-effective hydrothermal route. The Zno/CoS2 nanocomposite demonstrated excellent battery-type behavior, which can be employed for supercapcitor application. Various analyses were carried out in the current study, such as X-ray diffraction and high-resolution scanning electron microscopy, which allowed defining the crystalline nature and morphology of surface with ZnO/CoS2 nanoarchitectures. Electrochemical measures such as cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge discharge, and potentiostatic impedance spectroscopy confirmed the battery-type behavior of the material. The synthesized precursors of binder-free ZnO/CoS2 nanostructures depicted an excellent specific capacity of 400.25 C·g−1 at 1 A·g−1, with a predominant cycling capacity of 88. 2% and retention holding of 68% at 10 A·g−1 and 2 A·g−1, even after 4000 cycles, representing an improvement compared to the pristine ZnO and CoS2 electroactive materials. Therefore, the electrochemical and morphological analyses suggest the excellent behavior of the ZnO/CoS2 nanoarchitectures, making them promising for supercapacitors.
