摘要

Coal-based active carbon (CAC) is an ideal supercapacitor (SC) electrode material owing to its rich microporosity, high surface area, and excellent capacitance. Taixi anthracite (TXA) features high fixed-carbon content (<8% ash) and a well-ordered microporous structure. This renders TXA critical for CAC-based SC electrodes. For non-biomass SC electrodes, ash content management is critical. In this study, CAC was obtained by physical and chemical sequential activation of TXA using H2O and KOH. Ultralow-ash D-CAC was prepared via oxalic acid deashing of CAC, with process conditions optimized. CAC’s extensive porosity enables efficient oxalic acid penetration and deashing. D-CAC demonstrated superior specific capacitance and cycling stability. D-CAC had the largest specific surface area of 2106 m2/g and a total pore volume of 1.03 cm3/g. D-CAC also exhibited a high specific capacitance of 339.4 F/g at a current density of 0.5 A/g. After 10,000 charge and discharge cycles, the specific capacitance showed a 99.1% retention rate. Furthermore, assembled symmetric SC exhibited a high specific capacitance of 156 F/g at 0.5 A/g and an energy density value of 6.25 Wh/kg with a power density of 12,500 W/kg. This organic acid (OA) deashing strategy enables the production of high-performance capacitive carbon.
