Blueberry‐Peel‐Derived Porous Carbon for High‐Performance Supercapacitors: The Effect of N‐Doping and Activation

Abstract

Nitrogen-doped (N-doped) activated porous carbon has been successfully prepared, using blueberry peel (BP) as a carbon source and melamine as a nitrogen source through a simple and effective carbonization and activation process. The obtained ABP-1.5-700 (ABP-x-y, ABP: blueberry peel derived activated porous carbon; x: BP/melamine mass ratio; y: carbonization temperature), with a nitrogen doping content of 8.29 at % presented a maximum specific capacitance of 324.3 F g À 1 at a current density of 1 A g À 1 in 6 M potassium hydroxide (KOH) aqueous electrolyte. It also showed an excellent cycle stability about 99.9% retention after 20000 charge-discharge cycles. The assembled ABP-1.5-700-based symmetric capacitor displayed the value of the specific capacitance was 75 F g À 1 at 1 A g À 1 with a maximum energy density of 13.78 Wh kg À 1 and a power density of 661.25 W kg À 1 (0-1.15 V) in 6 M KOH electrolyte solution. The results showed that the porous carbon derived from blueberry peel presented a good potential for high performance supercapacitors.

“…The peaks at 21.6 and 43.2°a re related to the 002 and 101 planes of graphite hexagonal lattice, respectively. 22 The peak intensity of the two peaks is caused by diffusion scattering of the amorphous carbon, which suggest the low graphitization degree. 23,24 3.3.…”

“…It shows that the peak at 10.29° is corresponding to the (006) plane of graphite (Mousavi et al 2020). The characteristic diffraction peaks of GO located at 26.6° and 42.43° are ascribed to (002) and (100) planes of graphite hexagonal lattices, respectively (Zhong et al 2020). The re ection of (002) plane is very clear, it may be because the samples are abundantly ordered along the stacking direction and consist of graphene sheets (Gong et al 2012).…”

“…A recent economic survey states that ever growing population has tremendously increases the usage of fossil fuels and thereby creating a shortening of energy by 2030. The active transition from fossil fuels to reproducible energy resources (solar, wind, tidal) over the past few decades has generating a huge energy demand that leads to produce a cheap and high efficiency energy storage gadget with superior qualities [1–3] . Supercapacitors (SCs) are considered as recognized gadget to provide surplus energy necessities in the current scenario with minimal energy consumption.…”
