One-step hydrothermal synthesis of Co/Ni bimetallic co-doped biomass activated carbon for high-performance asymmetric supercapacitors
摘要
The low energy density of conventional biomass-derived carbon supercapacitors remains the primary bottleneck hindering their large-scale application. To realize the comprehensive utilization of agricultural waste and develop high-performance supercapacitor electrode materials, this study adopted maize straw as the raw material. After activation treatment, biomass activated carbon (BAC) was prepared, on which Co/Ni(CO₃)₀.₅(OH) was grown in situ through a hydrothermal doping method. Electrochemical tests of the synthesized electrode material were conducted in a three-electrode system. The results show that at a current density of 1 A g− 1, the specific capacitance of the electrode material reaches 902.7 F g− 1, exhibiting excellent electrochemical performance. The assembled ASC device achieves an energy density of 15.3 Wh kg⁻¹ at the power density of 814 W kg⁻¹ and after 10,000 long-term cycles, the capacitance retention rate remained at 99.27%, demonstrating excellent cycling performance.
