Using Chinese rice
wine lees as a highly accessible and green carbon
source, a new synthetic strategy has been developed for the facile
and green fabrication of a N and S co-doped porous carbon (NSHPC)
material via a facile carbonization and activation process. The obtained
NSHPC samples possess a hierarchical porous structure with a large
specific surface area and perform quite well in a supercapacitor.
The prepared NSHPC electrode achieves a quite high capacitance of
433.5 F g–1 at 1 A g–1 in a 6
M KOH electrolyte, excellent rate capability, and good cycle stability.
In particular, the prepared electrode can still achieve a high specific
capacitance of 307.8 F g–1 when 50 mg of electroactive
materials is loaded. The assembled NSHPS-based symmetric capacitor
exhibits a high energy density of 17.8 Wh kg–1 at
a power density of 450 W kg–1. This study provides
an efficient and green strategy for preparing a high-performance N
and S co-doped porous carbon material for energy storage applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
