Abstract:In this work, we report the fabrication
and performance of supercapacitors
made from carbonized peanut shells, which are renewable materials
with a huge annual yield and are usually discarded directly by people.
With proper treatment, peanut shells could be used for many applications.
Herein, we demonstrate that the peanut shells treated with carbonization
and activation processes not only possess an extremely high surface
area but also provide a hierarchical structure for energy storage.
The performance of th… Show more
“…This phenomenon is maybe connected with the relatively lower ionic mobility of EMIMBF 4 and LiPF 6 electrolytes, which have a higher viscosity. Besides, it can be easily found that the Nyquist plots of all supercapacitors are almost vertical lines at the low frequency region, manifesting that the supercapacitors possess a good ion diffusion/migration behavior and typical double-layer charge storage characteristic …”

“…Besides, it can be easily found that the Nyquist plots of all supercapacitors are almost vertical lines at the low frequency region, manifesting that the supercapacitors possess a good ion diffusion/migration behavior and typical double-layer charge storage characteristic. 50 Figure 7b shows the capacitance−frequency plots in different electrolytes of the AHPCS supercapacitors, which appear as a series combination of capacitance and resistance in the EIS measure. The specific capacitance values are figured by eq 5: 49 C fZ m…”
