在宽电压窗口下实现高能量密度和超长循环寿命的双碳基锂离子电容器

Dual carbon Li-ion capacitor with high energy density and ultralong cycling life at a wide voltage window

从储能器件应用前景来看,正负两极使用同一前驱体来制备可以简化工艺过程,显著降低储能器件的成本.在本论文中,我们由单一前驱体——石油焦来制备活性材料并将其组装成了双碳基锂离子电容器.对于负极,通过简单的球磨和碳化工艺制备了石油焦衍生碳(PCC样品),该碳材料具有较大的压实密度(1.80 g cm^(-3))和高电导率(11.5 S cm^(-1)).对于正极,前驱体经氢氧化钾活化(PC-AC样品),获得了良好的孔隙结构,以满足快速电容行为.结果表明,在宽电压窗口下,组装的双碳基锂离子电容器具有良好的结构稳定性,高能量密度(231 W h kg^(-1)/206 W h L^(-1))和超长循环寿命(高达10,000次循环).石油焦衍生的碳材料具有良好的电化学响应性和简单的生产工艺,因而实际应用潜力巨大.

Using the same materials for the cathode and anode in energy storage devices could greatly simplify the technological process and reduce the device cost significantly.In this paper,we assemble a dual carbon-based Li-ion capacitor with the active materials derived entirely from a single precursor,petroleum coke.For the anode,petroleum cokederived carbon(PCC)is prepared by simple ball milling and carbonization,having a massive tap density(1.80 g cm^(-3))and high electrical conductivity(11.5 S cm^(-1)).For the cathode,the raw petroleum coke is activated by KOH(petroleum cokeactivated carbon(PC-AC)sample)to achieve a well-developed pore structure to meet a rapid capacitive behavior.As a result,in addition to the robust structural stability of both the anode and cathode,the assembled dual carbon Li-ion capacitor shows a high energy density(231 W h kg^(-1)/206 W h L^(-1))and ultralong cycling life(up to 3000/10,000 cycles)at a wide voltage window.The excellent electrochemical response and simple production process make the PCC materials have great potential for practical application.
