Nitrogen-Doped Activated Biocarbon from the Agroindustrial Residue of Jatropha Oilcake for Symmetric Supercapacitors: a Study on the Effect of Activation Temperature
Tóm tắt
The nitrogen-doped activated biocarbons were synthesized from jatropha oilcake (agro industrial residues)–derived hydrochars via KOH-mediated chemical activation at various temperatures of 600, 700, and 800 °C for 1 h under N2 gas flow. The effects of activation temperatures on the physicochemical, morphological, and capacitive performance of nitrogen-doped activated biocarbon materials were investigated through CHNS, FTIR, XRD, RAMAN, BET, SEM–EDS, and electrochemical analyses. It was observed that the nitrogen content in the nitrogen-doped activated biocarbon was decreased with increasing activating temperature as 2.47, 1.76, and 0.36%, respectively for 600, 700, and 800 °C. Furthermore, the increasing trend was noticed for the specific surface area of the nitrogen-doped activated biocarbon with raising activating temperature from 600 °C (681 m2 g−1) to 800 °C (1346 m2 g−1), and it was very high compared to their pristine biocarbon (2 m2 g−1). The superior specific capacitance of 210 F g−1 at 1 A g−1 was shown by the nitrogen-doped biocarbons activated at 700 °C, which is greatly influenced by its specific surface area and nitrogen content. The fabricated cell has also exhibited better cycling performances with the 81% capacity retention at 1 A g−1 after 5000 cycles along with the higher energy and power density of 6.45 Wh kg−1 and 2735 W kg−1 while employing the current density of 5 A g−1.
