Abstract:Activated carbons to be used as electrode in electrochemical double-layer capacitors were fabricated using amphiphilic carbonaceous material (ACM) as precursor. To study the significance of functional groups and microcrystalline of the precursor in preparing AC, we applied pre-carbonization upon the ACM under different conditions to control these two parameters in this paper. FTIR and XPS spectra showed functional groups on the precursors decreased as the increase of pre-carbonization temperature. After carbon… Show more
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.
