Retaining
fast electron and ion transport of electrode materials
at high mass loadings holds significant importance to supercapacitors.
Carbon-based materials with ultrathin electrodes or small amounts
of active materials on the current collectors, that is, active materials
with a low mass loading (<1 mg cm–2), have achieved
high capacitances and power densities with a fast charging/discharging
rate. Yet, the low mass loading leads to low capacitances based on
area or the device and, consequently, poor energy. Simultaneously,
it cannot be readily scaled to commercial electrodes that have practical
levels of mass loading above 10 mg cm–2. Here, we
demonstrate N, O, and S self-doped pillared porous carbon architectures
(AMJ-3) through the integration of the heteroatom-doping method and
architectonic design, which exhibit excellent frequency response with
a scan rate up to 7 V s–1 at 1.6 mg cm–2 and 500 mV s–1 at 12 mg cm–2. Furthermore, an ultrafast AMJ-3//AMJ-3 symmetric supercapacitor
can be charged/discharged within 0.49 s to deliver both high specific
energy of 11 Wh kg–1 and ultrahigh power of 107
kW kg–1 in 1 M Na2SO4. Most
importantly, AMJ-3//AMJ-3 symmetric supercapacitor can simultaneously
achieve excellent energy density normalized to area (0.21 mWh cm–2) at a high mass loading of 24 mg cm–2.
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.
