Ammonia Treatment of Activated Carbon Powders for Supercapacitor Electrode Application

Abstract: Microporous activated carbon powder was modified by ammonia gas or ammonia/nitrogen mixture at elevated temperatures with different duration in order to obtain supercapacitor electrode materials with enhanced capacitance. XPS analysis showed higher amount of nitrogen containing functional groups (up to 4.5 at%) incorporated into carbon powders which were oxidized before ammonia treatment. The highest amount of N was introduced by treatments at 400 • C, whereas extensive activation was observed after treatment … Show more

“…The signal at 535.5 eV, which comprises approximately 5-8% of the total oxygen signal can be attributed to chemisorbed water. 33 In comparison, the commercial 5wt% Ru/C samples exhibit a similar oxygen profile, but the total concentration of oxygen and carbon functionalities is greatly reduced, as evidenced by the absence of a prominent signal ca. 289 eV in the C(1s)/Ru(3d) spectra ( Figure 15(a)).…”

“…This observation is also supported by previous literature, in which the similar conclusion was drawn. 28,54,55 In the high frequencies, the Nyquist plots display a depressed semicircle of five N-doped samples (see the inset of Figure 7c), which relate to the interfacial charge transfer resistance at the electrode/electrolyte interface. 56 Carbon-ZS shows a small value crossing with the Z axis, which denotes that Carbon-ZS has lower interface contact resistance, because Carbon-ZS has a proper pore size favorable for electrolyte ion transport.…”

“…have been proposed to modify the surface functionality and porous texture of various carbons (AC powder, carbon fibers, carbonized melamine-mica composite, activated rayon char, etc.) [10,[25][26][27][28][29]. Plasma treatment and chemical activation have also been investigated widely to impart the surface functionality and thus enhance the capacitance [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38].…”
