Electrochemical performance of a novel ionic liquid derived mesoporous carbon

Abstract

A novel nano-fibrillated mesoporous carbon (IFMC) was found to be an effective modifier in combination with ionic liquid 1-octylpyridinum hexafluorophosphate (OPFP) as a binder to give impregnated graphite electrodes with outstanding electrochemical performances.

Fabrication of a nonenzymatic glucose sensor using Pd-nanoparticles decorated ionic liquid derived fibrillated mesoporous carbon

“…S1), a characteristic reported previously [23], were clearly observed in the HRTEM images of the prepared Pd@ IFMC.…”

“…1-Methyl-3-phenethyl-1H-imidazolium hydrogen sulfate (MPIHS) was used as carbon source. Ionic liquid derived fibrillated mesoporous carbon (IFMC) was prepared based on the method reported previously [23] by the use of SBA-15 and MPIHS. Pd nanoparticles decorated ionic liquid derived fibrillated mesoporous carbon (Pd@IFMC) was prepared based on the method reported previously [24,26].…”

“…Innovative characteristic such as well-ordered pore structure, narrow pore size distribution, admirable chemical stability, large surface area and excellent conductivity are ascribed to the ordered mesoporous carbons [22,23]. Also, it is well documented that the nanostructures of OMCs and their electronic properties depend on the carbon source and the synthetic conditions [24,25].…”

“…Also, it is well documented that the nanostructures of OMCs and their electronic properties depend on the carbon source and the synthetic conditions [24,25]. Recently, Karimi et al described novel protocols for the synthesis of ionic liquid derived fibrillated mesoporous carbon (IFMC) and Pd nanoparticles decorated IFMC (Pd@IFMC) [23,26] using ionic liquid as the carbon source. It has also been shown that the resulting fibrillated Materials Science and Engineering C 52 (2015) 219-224 mesoporous carbons had superior electrical conductivity and mechanical properties.…”

Manganese dioxide nanoparticles incorporated within ionic liquid derived fibrillated mesoporous carbon: electrode material for high-performance supercapacitors

“…32 It is concluded that dispersing the MnO 2 nanoparticles on conductive substrates could result in accomplishing the redox reactions in the charge storage mechanism by enhancing the electrical conductivity of the MnO 2 based electrodes. 1,45,47,48 Herein, we investigate the incorporation of MnO 2 nanoparticles within IFMC and the resulting supercapacitive behavior. 34 Two important shortcomings of commercial supercapacitor materials are the limited specic capacitance of the carbon materials, in addition to the low energy density.…”
