Structure and Electrochemical Performance of Hollow Tube Activated Carbon Prepared from Cotton as Electrode Material for Electric Double Layer Capacitor

Hollow tube-like activated carbon(HTAC) was fabricated by a simple and efficient carbonization method with cotton as carbon precursor activated by KOH without any template. The activation time from 0 to 90 min showed no significant effect on the micro-morphology, but greatly influenced the specific surface area and electrochemical performance. In the end, it was found that the sample activated for 60 min(HTAC-60) has a higher specific surface area of 2600 m²/g, a larger pore volume of 1.52 cm³/g and a greater specific capacitance of 483 F/g at a current density of 0.2 A/g in 1 mol/L H₂SO₄. Moreover, the sample HTAC-60 shows excellent cycle stability(only 12.2% loss after 5000 cycles) and a high energy density of 67.1 or 37.2 W·h·kg^-1 at a power density of 200 or 1000 W/kg, respectively, operated in a voltage range of 0-1.0 V in 1 mol/L H₂SO₄. The results indicate that cotton can potentially be used as a raw material for producing low cost and high performance activated carbon electrode materials for electric double layer capacitor.     

Preparation and Supercapacitive Properties of Fe2O3/Active Carbon Nanocomposites

Fe₂O₃/active carbon(Fe₂O₃/AC) nanocomposites were readily fabricated by pyrolyzing Fe³⁺ impregnated active carbon in a nitrogen atmosphere. The as-prepared composites were studied by X-ray powder diffraction(XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The capacitive property of the composites was investigated by cyclic voltammetry(CV) and galvanostatic charge-discharge test. Physical characterizations show that the γ-Fe₂O₃ fine grains dispersed in the AC well, with a mean size of 21.24 nm. Electrochemical tests in 6 mol/L KOH solutions indicate that the as-prepared nanocomposites exhibited improved capacitive properties. The specific capacitance(SC) of Fe₂O₃/AC nanocomposites was up to 188.4 F/g that was derived from both electrochemical double-layer capacitance and pseudo-capacitance, which was 78% larger than that of pristine AC. A symmetric capacitor with Fe₂O₃/AC nanocomposites as electrode showed an excellent cycling stability. The SC was only reduced by a factor of 9.2% after 2000 cycles at a current density of 1 A/g.

Effects of potassium promoter on the performance of PdCl_2–CuCl_2/AC catalysts for the synthesis of dimethyl carbonate from CO and methyl nitrite

The effect of potassium(K) promoter on the catalytic performance of activated carbon(AC) supported Wacker-type catalysts(Pd Cl2–Cu Cl2/AC) for the synthesis of dimethyl carbonate(DMC) from CO and methyl nitrite(MN) was investigated by means of N2 adsorption, H2-temperature-programmed reduction(H2-TPR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS).
