润湿特性对超级电容器储能动力学的影响机理

润湿特性对超级电容器储能性能有着至关重要的影响。借助分子动力学模拟,本文研究了润湿特性对超级电容器储能动力学行为的影响。以石墨烯和晶体铜作为疏电解液和亲电解液电极材料。结果表明,在充电过程中,亲电解液铜电极呈现出非对称的U型微分电容曲线,负极电容是正极的～5.77倍,不同于经典双电层理论Gouy-Chapman-Stern(对称U型)和疏电解液型。该现象与离子自由能阻力分布密切相关,负极自由能阻力远小于正极(～2倍)和疏电解液电极,进而有利于强化双电层结构对电极电压的响应能力,导致更高微分电容。通过微分离子电荷密度,本文再现了微分电容演变规律,并发现改善润湿性会显著降低双电层厚度。最后,我们指出润湿性直接影响储能微观机理,将电荷储存机制从离子吸附和交换共同主导(疏电解液)转变到离子吸附主导(亲电解液)。本文所得结论揭示了润湿特性对储能动力学行为影响的原子层级机理,对超级电容器材料设计、构筑与润湿特性调控具有重要指导意义。

A review on the development of a porous carbon-based as modeling materials for electric double layer capacitors

Carbon electrodes are a key factor for electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs). Carbon gels have high porosity with a controllable pore structure by changing synthesis conditions and modifying preparation processing to improve the electrochemical performance of EDLCs. This review summarizes the preparation of carbon gels and their derivatives, the criteria to synthesize high surface area in each process, the development by some carbon forms, and EDLC applications. Porous carbons are also prepared as model materials by concentrating on how pore structure increases electrochemical capacitance, such as electronic and ion resistance, the tortuosity of pore channel, suitable micropore and mesopore sizes, and mesopore size distribution. This review emphasizes the significance of pore structures as the key factor to allow for the design of suitable pore structures that are suitable as the carbon electrode for EDLCs.     

酚醛基活性炭纤维孔结构及其电化学性能研究

利用水蒸汽活化法制备了酚醛基活性炭纤维(ACF-H2O), 对其比表面积、孔结构与在LiClO4/PC(聚碳酸丙烯酯)有机电解液中的电容性能之间的关系进行了探讨. 用N2(77 K)吸附法测定活性炭纤维的孔结构和比表面积, 用恒流充放电法和交流阻抗技术测量双电层电容器(EDLC)的电容量及内部阻抗. 研究表明, 在LiClO4/PC有机电解液中, ACF-H2O电极的可用孔径(d)应在0.7 nm以上. 随着活化时间的延长, ACF-H2O的孔容和比表面不断增大, 但微孔(0.7 nm ＜ d ＜ 2.0 nm)和中孔(d ＞ 2.0 nm)率变化很小, 活化过程中孔的延伸和拓宽同步进行, 但过度活化则造成孔壁塌陷, 孔容和比表面迅速下降. 因此, 除活化过度的样品外, 电容量随比表面积呈线性增长, 最高达到109. 6 F•g-1. 但中孔和微孔的孔表面对电容的贡献不同, 其单位面积电容分别为8.44 μF•cm-2和4.29 μF•cm-2, 中孔具有更高的表面利用率. ACF-H2O电极的电容量、阻抗特性和孔结构密切相关. 随着孔径的增大, 时间常数减小, 电解液离子更易于向孔内快速迁移, 阻抗降低, 电极具有更好的充放电倍率特性. 因此, 提高孔径和比表面积, 减少超微孔(d ＜ 0.7 nm), 是提高 EDLC能量密度和功率密度的重要途径. 然而仅采用水蒸汽活化, 只能在小中孔以下的孔径范围内进行调孔, ACF-H2O电极电容性能的提高受限.

Impedance measurements for determination of pore texture of a carbon membrane

The pore texture of a carbon membrane was determined by impedance measurements carried out over a wide frequency range. The impedance obtained could be characterised by a resistance Ω and a double layer capacitance Cn. Ω is the third of electrolyte resistance in pores and Cn is the double layer capacitance corresponding to the developed pore surface. Membrane samples of different length but with the same thickness were studied. As expected, it was shown that the Cn value is proportional to the weight of the membrane whereas the Ω value is inversely proportional. Cn value allowed us to evaluate the specific area of the porous membrane from the value of the double layer capacitance per unit area determined for a plain carbon electrode. Moreover, impedance diagrams obtained were found to be very similar to those of cylindrical pore even though the pore texture is very intricate. Thus, impedance measurements can be applied to porous electrodes of more intricate pore texture and evaluate the radius, depth and pore number of its equivalent cylindrical pore electrode.

Activated carbon derived from marine Posidonia Oceanica for electric energy storage

In this paper, the synthesis and characterization of activated carbon from marine Posidonia Oceanica were studied. The activated carbon was prepared by a simple process namely pyrolysis under inert atmosphere. The activated carbon can be used as electrodes for supercapacitor devices. X-ray diffraction result revealed a polycrystalline graphitic structure. While scanning electron microscope investigation showed a layered structure with micropores. The EDS analysis showed that the activated carbon contains the carbon element in high atomic percentage. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy revealed a capacitive behavior (electrostatic phenomena). The specific capacity per unit area of the electrochemical double layer of activated carbon electrode in sulfuric acid electrolyte was 3.16 F cm⁻². Cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic chronopotentiometry demonstrated that the electrode has excellent electrochemical reversibility. It has been found that the surface capacitance was strongly related to the specific surface area and pore size.     

Improved capacitance characteristics of electrospun ACFs by pore size control and vanadium catalyst

Nano-sized carbon fibers were prepared by using electrospinning, and their electrochemical properties were investigated as a possible electrode material for use as an electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC). To improve the electrode capacitance of EDLC, we implemented a three-step optimization. First, metal catalyst was introduced into the carbon fibers due to the excellent conductivity of metal. Vanadium pentoxide was used because it could be converted to vanadium for improved conductivity as the pore structure develops during the carbonization step. Vanadium catalyst was well dispersed in the carbon fibers, improving the capacitance of the electrode. Second, pore-size development was manipulated to obtain small mesopore sizes ranging from 2 to 5 nm. Through chemical activation, carbon fibers with controlled pore sizes were prepared with a high specific surface and pore volume, and their pore structure was investigated by using a BET apparatus. Finally, polyacrylonitrile was used as a carbon precursor to enrich for nitrogen content in the final product because nitrogen is known to improve electrode capacitance. Ultimately, the electrospun activated carbon fibers containing vanadium show improved functionality in charge/discharge, cyclic voltammetry, and specific capacitance compared with other samples because of an optimal combination of vanadium, nitrogen, and fixed pore structures.

Relation between the ion size and pore size for an electric double-layer capacitor

The research on electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLC), also known as supercapacitors or ultracapacitors, is quickly expanding because their power delivery performance fills the gap between dielectric capacitors and traditional batteries. However, many fundamental questions, such as the relations between the pore size of carbon electrodes, ion size of the electrolyte, and the capacitance have not yet been fully answered. We show that the pore size leading to the maximum double-layer capacitance of a TiC-derived carbon electrode in a solvent-free ethyl-methylimmidazolium-bis(trifluoro-methane-sulfonyl)imide (EMI-TFSI) ionic liquid is roughly equal to the ion size (approximately 0.7 nm). The capacitance values of TiC-CDC produced at 500 degrees C are more than 160 F/g and 85 F/cm(3) at 60 degrees C, while standard activated carbons with larger pores and a broader pore size distribution present capacitance values lower than 100 F/g and 50 F/cm(3) in ionic liquids. A significant drop in capacitance has been observed in pores that were larger or smaller than the ion size by just an angstrom, suggesting that the pore size must be tuned with sub-angstrom accuracy when selecting a carbon/ion couple. This work suggests a general approach to EDLC design leading to the maximum energy density, which has been now proved for both solvated organic salts and solvent-free liquid electrolytes.
