High specific surface
area and reasonable pore-size distribution
are conducive to promote the energy density and power density of carbon
based supercapacitors. Nevertheless, the permeability of electrolyte
is a prerequisite condition for surface storage charge and the ion
diffusion in multiscale pores. Therefore, improving the electrolyte
penetration/absorption is particularly important. Herein, we reported
a novel three-dimensional porous ultrathin carbon nanosheet (3DPAC)
with considerable electrolyte penetration/absorption property, which
was proven by experiment and theory. The 3DPAC was prepared from abundant
biomass waste wood dust via hydrothermal and carbonized treatment
and characterized with ultrathin nanosheets, abundant porous structure,
and rich N, O dopant. This unique three-dimensional and hierarchical
porous structure leads to robust conduction of electrons and the penetration/absorption
of electrolyte ions, which endow the 3DPAC with approved electrochemical
properties. The supercapacitor based 3DPAC shows satisfying energy
density (79.4 Wh/kg) and power density (5.1 kW/kg), and impressive
cyclic stability with 94.6% after 5000 charge/discharge processes.
More amazing, the soft-packaged supercapacitor presents stable electrochemical
behaviors at multiple folding states and low pressure environment.
Therefore, this meaningful research will open a brand-new direction
to devise and prepare state-of-art porous carbon materials for high-performance
supercapacitors applied in complex environments.
HER requires a highly efficient, cost-effective, and stable catalyst to adapt to the large-scale hydrogen industry. Nickel has been confirmed useful to drive the water splitting reaction, but the intrinsic...
