Carbonized Wood for Supercapacitor Electrodes

Abstract: Three-dimensional network structures with interconnected micro-channels were formed through the carbonization of three different varieties of wood. Performance of these carbonized woods was tested for their application as supercapacitor electrodes. From charge-discharge cycling in a KOH electrolyte solution, a maximum energy density of ∼45.6 Wh/kg (discharge current of 200 mA/g) and a maximum power density of ∼2000 W/kg (discharge current of 4000 mA/g) were obtained. The carbonized wood electrodes exhibited ex… Show more

“…We can see that, all samples reached relatively stable capacitance at a high current density range of 5 to 20 A g −1 , and more competitively, the N CNF s-1 sample showed a high value of 242 F g −1 at 20 A g −1 , which was quite high among reports for EDLSs [41,42,43]. The relatively large drops of the specific capacitance especially at the low current density range (from 1 A g −1 to 4 A g −1 ) could be understood by the suppressed contributions for small pores to the specific capacitance at increased current density as reported by Teng [44] and Daraghmeh [45]. Surface functional groups (see Figure S1 in the Supporting Information) and the related pseudocapacitance [46], as indicated by the slight tailing in the discharge curves in Figure 6, can also cause attenuations of the specific capacitance.…”

“…Biomass is a promising carbon precursor, which dues to its abundance, sustainability and non‐poisonousness. Currently, a large amount of biomass has attracted researchers’ attention, such as corn starch, pine needle, bamboo, pomelo peel, wood, and so on. After physical or chemical activation, biomass activated carbon can greatly increases its specific surface area and porosity, which could facilitate the transfer of charge in the double‐layer structure.…”

“…In an earlier study, Teng et al . showed that because of its porous structure and high effective surface area, carbonized wood can be used as a supercapacitor electrode 21 . In the present study, we are showing that the electrochemical performance of the wood based supercapacitor electrodes can be enhanced tremendously by the addition of nickel nanoparticles (NiNPs).…”
