Abstract:
Water-based biocarbon as an electrode material of supercapacitor for energy storage equipment has been widely studied because of its simple preparation, low cost, environmental friendliness and good cycle stability, but its low specific capacitance and energy density are the keys to hinder its development. In this study, 2D biocarbon nanosheets from kapok fibers were prepared via KOH activation. ACKF-2, an as-prepared activated biocarbon with an alkali-carbon mass ratio of 5:1, had a very high specific surface area of 3359.2 m2/g and a high pore volume of 2.1415 m3/g. Thus, ACKF-2 exhibits a high specific capacitance of 405 F/g at a current density of 1 A/g in a 6 mol/L KOH electrolyte. To further improve the electrochemical performance of ACKF-2, two redox additives, K3Fe(CN)6 and K4Fe(CN)6, were chosen as novel redox electrolytes. At a current density of 10 A/g, ACKF-2 showed a superhigh specific capacitance of 3380 F/g in the 1 mol/L H2SO4 electrolyte with adding K3Fe(CN)6 and K4Fe(CN)6. A symmetrical-supercapacitor device consisting of ACKF-2 and the new-type redox electrolyte can achieve an extremely high energy density of 264.1 Wh/kg at a high power density of 4593 W/kg. Therefore, this study provides a new energy storage scheme that can greatly improve the water-based carbon supercapacitor.
