Extraordinary Compatibility to Mass Loading and Rate Capability of Hierarchically Porous Carbon Nanorods Electrode Derived from the Waste Tire Pyrolysis Oil

The conversion of waste tire pyrolysis oil(WTPO)into S-doped porous carbon nanorods(labeled as WPCNs)with hierarchical pore structure is realized by a simple template-directed approach.The specific surface area of as-obtained porous carbon nanorods can reach up to 1448 m^(2) g^(−1) without the addition of any activating agent.As the capacitive electrode,WPCNs possess the extraordinary compatibility to capacitance,different electrolyte systems as well as long-term cycle life even at a commercial-level areal mass loading(10 mg cm^(−2)).Besides,only an extremely small capacitance fluctuation is observed under the extreme circumstance(−40 to 80℃),reflecting the excellent high-and low-temperature performance.The relationship between the pore structure and capacitive behavior is analyzed by comparing WPCNs with mesopores-dominated asphalt-derived porous carbon nanorods(APCNs)and micropores-dominated activated carbon.The molecular dynamics simulation further reveals the ion diffusion and transfer ability of the as-prepared carbon materials under different pore size distribution.The total ion flow(NT)of WPCNs calculated by the simulation is obviously larger than APCNs and the N_(T) ratio between them is similar with the experimental average capacitance ratio.Furthermore,this work also provides a valuable strategy to prepare the electrode material with high capacitive energy storage ability through the high value-added utilization of WTPO.

High mass loading NiCo_(2)O_(4) with shell-nanosheet/core-nanocage hierarchical structure for high-rate solid-state hybrid supercapacitors

Rational design of advanced structure for transition metal oxides(TMOs) is attractive for achieving high-performance supercapacitors.However, it is hampered by sluggish reaction kinetics, low mass loading, and volume change upon cycling. Herein, hierarchical Ni Co_(2)O_(4) architectures with 2D-nanosheets-shell and 3D-nanocages-core(2D/3D h-NCO) are directly assembled on nickel foam via a facile one-step way.The 2D nanosheets are in-situ generated from the self-evolution of initial NCO nanospheres. This 2D/3D hierarchical structures ensure fast ion/electron transport and maintain the structural integrity to buffer the volume expansion. The 2D/3D h-NCO electrode with an ultrahigh mass loading(30 mg cm^(-2)) achieves a high areal capacity of 4.65 C cm^(-2)(equivalent to 1.29 mAh cm^(-2)) at a current density of 4 mA cm^(-2), and retains 3.7 C cm^(-2) even at 50 mA cm^(-2). Furthermore, the assembled solid-state hybrid supercapacitor yields a high volumetric energy density of 4.25 mWh cm^(-3) at a power density of 39.3 mW cm^(-3), with a high capacity retention of 92.4% after 5000 cycles. Therefore, this work provides a new insight to constuct hierarchical electrodes for energy storage application.

High mass loading Ni_(4)Co_(1)-OH@CuO core-shell nanowire arrays obtained by electrochemical reconstruction for alkaline energy storage

The design of three-dimensional(30)core-shell hetercistructures is an efficient method to achieve high mass specific capacity of electroactive materials under high mass loading.In this work,porous Ni_(4)Co1-0H nanosheets with a mass loading of 7.7 mg·cm^(-2) are obtained by using Ni_(4)Cor(NO_(3))_(2)(0H)_(4) supported on the CuO nanowires as precursors via an unavoidable electrochemically induced phase reconstruction.During the electrochemical reconstruction process,the N03-anions in Ni_(4)Cor(N0_(3))_(2)(0H)_(4) are easily replaced by OH-anions in the electrolyte.The phase reconstruction is accompanied by the decrease of ionic diffusion.:resistance and the increase of pore volume,and the shift of binding energy.The obtained Ni4Co1-0H nanosheets show a high:mass specific capacity of 363.6 mAh·g^(-1) at 5 mA·cm^(-2).The as-fabricated alkaline hybrid supercapacitor and Ni-Zn battery deliver high energy density of 293.1 and 604.9 Wh·kg^(-1),respectively,indicating.excellent alkaline energy storage performance.

Ultrahigh “Relative Energy Density” and Mass Loading of Carbon Cloth Anodes for K-Ion Batteries

Mass loading and potential plateau are the two most important issues of potassium(K)-ion batteries(KIBs),but they have long been ignored in previous studies.Herein,we report a simple and scalable method to fabricate acidized carbon clothes(A-CC)as high mass loading(13.1 mg cm−2)anode for KIBs,which achieved a reversible areal-specific capacity of 1.81 mAh cm−2 at 0.2 mA cm−2.Besides,we have proposed the concept of“relative energy density”to reasonably evaluate the electrochemical performance of the anode.According to our calculation method,the A-CC electrode exhibited an ultrahigh relative energy density of 46 Wh m−2 in the initial charge process and remained at 40 Wh m−2 after 50 cycles.Furthermore,we performed the operando Raman spectroscopy(ORS)to investigate the K-ion storage mechanism.We believe that our work might provide a new guideline for the evaluation of anode performance,thereby,opening an avenue for the development of commercial anode.

Wet-spinning assembly of nitrogen-doped graphene film for stable graphene-polyaniline supercapacitor electrodes with high mass loading

Graphene-polyaniline(GP)composites are promising electrode materials for supercapacitors but possessing unsatisfied stability,especially under high mass loading,due to the low ion transmission efficiency and serious pulverization effect.To address this issue,we propose a scalable method to achieve highly wettable GP electrodes,showing excellent stability.In addition,our results demonstrate that the performance of electrodes is nearly independent of the mass loading,indicating the great potential of such GP electrodes for practical devices.We attribute the remarkable performance of GP to the delicate precursor of nitrogen doped graphene film assembled by wet-spinning technology.This report provides a strategy to promote the ion penetrating efficiency across the electrodes and deter the pulverization effect,aiming at the practical GP supercapacitor electrodes of high mass loading.

Facile anodization approach derived low-crystalline NiCoeOH/NiCoOOH composite films for ultra-high areal capacity and mass loading supercapacitors

The design of supercapacitor materials with both high areal capacity(C)and high mass loading is vitally important for enhancing energy density(E).Herein,we prepared a NiCosingle bondOH/NiCoOOH composite film consisting of NiCosingle bondOH/NiCoOOH nanosheets on an expanded graphite paper(EGP)by using a facial anodization method.The as-prepared NiCosingle bondOH/NiCoOOH film exhibits ultra-high C of 11 mA·h·cm^(-2)at a mass loading of 165 mg·cm^(-2),high rate capability of 71%and excellent cycling stability of 95%after 12000 cycles.The outstanding performance is ascribed to the low-crystalline feature of the NiCosingle bondOH/NiCoOOH nanosheets,and the synergistic effect of the NiCosingle bondOH and NiCoOOH phases and high conductive porous EGP.An aqueous asymmetric supercapacitor,assembled with the NiCosingle bondOH/NiCoOOH on EGP and Fe_(2)O_(3)on EGP as positive-and negative-electrode,respectively,shows a highest E of 3.8 mW·h·cm^(-2)at a power density(P)of 4 mW·cm^(-2)and a maximum P of 107 mW·cm^(-2)at an E of 2.7 mW·h·cm^(-2).

Construction of Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)/WO_(x) heterostructures on carbon cloth for ultrahigh-mass loading flexible supercapacitor

The capacitance loss caused by slow electron and ion migration kinetics in thick electrode with high-mass loading has been regarded as a great challenge in the field of electrochemical energy storage.Herein,we demonstrate a facile electrochemical deposition method for coating the heterostructured Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)/WO_(x) onto flexible carbon cloth( Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)/WO_(x)@CC).In the Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)/WO_(x) heterojunction,the mixed-valence WOx core provides abundant active sites for H+ions accommodation,while Ti_(3)C_(2)Tx shell can not only prevent peeling off the thick WOx but also act as an interconnected conductive network.The Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)/WO_(x)@CC flexible electrode with an ultrahigh mass loading of 34.9 mg·cm^(−2) exhibits a high areal capacitance of 5.73 F·cm^(−2) at 5 mA·cm^(−2) and excellent rate capability.Notably,the Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)/WO_(x)@CC electrode under such a high mass loading still delivers a gravimetric capacitance of 164 F·g^(−1) and areal capacitance of Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)/WO_(x)@CC electrode increases linearly with the WOx mass loading.Furthermore,a symmetrical supercapacitor assembled with Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)/WO_(x)@CC electrode exhibits a good areal energy density of 96.8μWh·cm^(−2) at a power density of 1.5 mW·cm^(−2).This work verifies high mass loading of active materials per unit electrode area for charge storage of supercapacitors in limited space,indicating the great potential in the development of commercially available thick metal-oxide film supercapacitors.

Tailoring the electronic conductivity of high-loading cathode electrodes for practical sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries

Sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries(ASSBs)exhibit unparalleled application value due to the high ionic conductivity and good processability of sulfide solid electrolytes(SSEs).Carbon-based conductive agents(CAs)are often used in the construction of electronic conductive networks to achieve rapid electron transfer.However,CAs accelerate the formation of decomposition products of SSEs,and their effects on sulfide-based ASSBs are not fully understood.Herein,the effect of CAs(super P,vaper-grown carbonfibers,and carbon nanotubes)on the performance of sulfide-based ASSBs is investigated under different cathode active materials mass loading(8 and 25 mg⋅cm^(-2)).The results show that under low mass loading,the side reaction between the CAs and the SSEs deteriorates the performance of the cell,while the charge transfer promotion caused by the addition of CAs is only manifested under high mass loading.Furthermore,the gradient design strategy(enrichment of CAs near the current collector side and depletion of CAs near the electrolyte side)is applied to maximize the benefits of CAs in electron transport and reduce the adverse effects of CAs.The charge carrier transport barrier inside the high mass loading electrode is significantly reduced through the regulation of electronic conductivity.Consequently,the optimized electrode achieves a high areal capacity of 5.6 mAh⋅cm^(-2)at high current density(1.25 mA⋅cm2,0.2℃)at 25℃with a capacity retention of 87.85%after 100 cycles.This work provides a promising way for the design of high-mass loading electrodes with practical application value.

Analysis of seasonal position variation for selected GNSS sites in Poland using loading modelling and GRACE data

In this study we compared weekly GNSS position time series with modelled values of crustal deformations on the basis of Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment （GRACE） data. The Global Navigation Satellite Systems （GNSS） time series were taken from homogeneously reprocessed global network solutions within the International GNSS Service （IGS） Reprucessing 1 project and from regional solutions performed by Warsaw University of Technology （WUT） European Permanent Network （EPN） Local Analysis Center （LAC） within the EPN reprocessing project. Eight GNSS sites from the territory of Poland with observation timespans between 2.5 and 13 years were selected for this study. The Total Water Equivalent （TWE） estimation from GRACE data was used to compute deformations using the Green＇s function formalism. High frequency components were removed from GRACE data to avoid aliasing problems. Since GRACE observes mainly the mass transport in continental storage of water, we also compared GRACE deformations and the GNSS position time series, with the deformations computed on the basis of a hydrosphere model. We used the output of Water GAP Hydrology Model （WGHM） to compute deformations in the same manner as for the GRACE data. The WGHM gave slightly larger amplitudes than GNSS and GRACE. The atmospheric non-tidal loading effect was removed from GNSS position time series before comparing them with modelled deformations. The results confirmed that the major part of observed seasonal variations for GNSS vertical components can be attributed to the hy- drosphere loading. The results for these components agree very well both in the amplitude and phase. The decrease in standard deviation of the residual GNSS position time series for vertical components corrected for the hydrosphere loading reached maximally 36% and occurred for all but one stations for both global and regional solutions. For horizontal components the amplitudes are about three times smaller than for vertical components therefore the comparison is much more complicated and the conclusions are ambiguous.

Retrieval of Volcanic Sulfate Aerosols Optical Parameters from AHI Radiometer Data

This paper presents a method for retrieving optical parameters from volcanic sulfate aerosols from the AHI radiometer on board the Himawari-8 satellite.The proposed method is based on optical models for various mixtures of aerosol components from volcanic clouds,including ash particles,ice crystals,water drops,and sulfate aerosol droplets.The application of multi-component optical models of various aerosol compositions allows for the optical thickness and mass loading of sulfate aerosol to be estimated in the sulfuric cloud formed after the Karymsky volcano eruption on 3 November 2021.A comprehensive analysis of the brightness temperatures of the sulfuric cloud in the infrared bands was performed,which revealed that the cloud was composed of a mixture of sulfate aerosol and water droplets.Using models of various aerosol compositions allows for the satellite-based estimation of optical parameters not only for sulfate aerosol but also for the whole aerosol mixture.

A Silicon Monoxide Lithium-Ion Battery Anode with Ultrahigh Areal Capacity

Silicon monoxide(SiO)is an attractive anode material for next-generation lithium-ion batteries for its ultra-high theoretical capacity of 2680 mAh g−1.The studies to date have been limited to electrodes with a rela-tively low mass loading(<3.5 mg cm^(−2)),which has seriously restricted the areal capacity and its potential in practical devices.Maximizing areal capacity with such high-capacity materials is critical for capitalizing their potential in practi-cal technologies.Herein,we report a monolithic three-dimensional(3D)large-sheet holey gra-phene framework/SiO(LHGF/SiO)composite for high-mass-loading electrode.By specifically using large-sheet holey graphene building blocks,we construct LHGF with super-elasticity and exceptional mechanical robustness,which is essential for accommodating the large volume change of SiO and ensuring the structure integrity even at ultrahigh mass loading.Additionally,the 3D porous graphene network structure in LHGF ensures excellent electron and ion transport.By systematically tailoring microstructure design,we show the LHGF/SiO anode with a mass loading of 44 mg cm^(−2)delivers a high areal capacity of 35.4 mAh cm^(−2)at a current of 8.8 mA cm^(−2)and retains a capacity of 10.6 mAh cm^(−2)at 17.6 mA cm^(−2),greatly exceeding those of the state-of-the-art commercial or research devices.Furthermore,we show an LHGF/SiO anode with an ultra-high mass loading of 94 mg cm^(−2)delivers an unprecedented areal capacity up to 140.8 mAh cm^(−2).The achievement of such high areal capacities marks a critical step toward realizing the full potential of high-capacity alloy-type electrode materials in practical lithium-ion batteries.

High‑Mass‑Loading Electrodes for Advanced Secondary Batteries and Supercapacitors

The growing demand for advanced electrochemical energy storage systems(EESSs)with high energy densities for electric vehicles and portable electronics is driving the electrode revolution,in which the development of high-mass-loading electrodes(HMLEs)is a promising route to improve the energy density of batteries packed in limited spaces through the optimal enlargement of active material loading ratios and reduction of inactive component ratios in overall cell devices.However,HMLEs face significant challenges including inferior charge kinetics,poor electrode structural stability,and complex and expensive production processes.Based on this,this review will provide a comprehensive summary of HMLEs,beginning with a basic presentation of factors influencing HMLE electrochemical properties,the understanding of which can guide optimal HMLE designs.Rational strategies to improve the electrochemical performance of HMLEs accompanied by corresponding advantages and bottlenecks are subsequently discussed in terms of various factors ranging from inactive component modification to active material design to structural engineering at the electrode scale.This review will also present the recent progress and approaches of HMLEs applied in various EESSs,including advanced secondary batteries(lithium-/sodium-/potassium-/aluminum-/calcium-ion batteries,lithium metal anodes,lithium-sulfur batteries,lithium-air batteries,zinc batteries,magnesium batteries)and supercapacitors.Finally,this review will examine the challenges and prospects of HMLE commercialization with a focus on thermal safety,performance evaluation,advanced characterization,and production cost assessment to guide future development.

Sustainable Lignin-Derived Carbon as Capacity-Kinetics Matched Cathode and Anode towards 4.5 V High-Performance Lithium-Ion Capacitors

The Li-ion capacitors(LICs)develop rapidly due to their double-high features of high-energy density and high-power density.However,the relative low capacity of cathode and sluggish kinetics of anode seriously impede the development of LICs.Herein,the precisely pore-engineered and heteroatomtailored defective hierarchical porous carbons(DHPCs)as large-capacity cathode and high-rate anode to construct high-performance dual-carbon LICs have been developed.The DHPCs are prepared based on triple-activation mechanisms by direct pyrolysis of sustainable lignin with urea to generate the interconnected hierarchical porous structure and plentiful heteroatominduced defects.Benefiting from these advanced merits,DHPCs show the well-matched high capacity and fast kinetics of both cathode and anode,exhibiting large capacities,superior rate capability and long-term lifespan.Both experimental and computational results demonstrate the strong synergistic effect of pore and dopants for Li storage.Consequently,the assembled dual-carbon LIC exhibits high voltage of 4.5 V,high-energy density of 208 Wh kg^(−1),ultrahigh power density of 53.4 kW kg^(−1)and almost zerodecrement cycling lifetime.Impressively,the full device with high mass loading of 9.4 mg cm^(−2)on cathode still outputs high-energy density of 187 Wh kg^(−1),demonstrative of their potential as electrode materials for high-performance electrochemical devices.

Sub-nanoscale Engineering of MoO_(2) Clusters for Enhanced Sodium Storage

Smart construction of battery-type anodes with high rate and good mechanical properties is significant for advanced sodium ion capacitors(SICs).Herein,a flexible film consisting of MoO_(2) subnanoclusters encapsulated in nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers(MoO_(2) SCs@N-CNFs)is designed and synthesized via electrospinning toward SICs as anodes.The strong N-Mo interaction guarantees the stable yet uniform dispersion of high loading MoO_(2) SCs(≈40 wt.%)in the flexible carbonaceous substrate.The sub-nanoscale effect of SCs restrains electrode pulverization and improves the Na+diffusion kinetics,rendering better pseudocapacitance-dominated Na+-storage properties than the nanocrystal counterpart.The MoO_(2) SCs@N-CNFs paper with mass loadings of 2.2–10.1 mg cm^(−2) can be directly used as free-standing anode for SICs,which exhibit high reversible gravimetric/areal capacities both in liquid and quasi-solid-state electrolytes.The assembled flexible SICs competitively exhibit exceptional energy density and cycling stability.More significantly,the sub-nanoscale engineering strategy here is promisingly generalized to future electrode design for other electrochemical energy-related applications and beyond.

Sn-doped BiOCl nanosheet with synergistic H^(+)/Zn^(2+)co-insertion for“rocking chair”zinc-ion battery

The development of insertion-type anodes is the key to designing“rocking chair”zinc-ion batteries.However,there is rare report on high mass loading anode with high performances.Here,{001}-oriented Bi OCl nanosheets with Sn doping are proposed as a promising insertion-type anode.The designs of cross-linked CNTs conductive network,{001}-oriented nanosheet,and Sn doping significantly enhance ion/electron transport,proved via experimental tests and theoretical calculations(density of states and diffusion barrier).The H^(+)/Zn^(2+)synergistic co-insertion mechanism is proved via ex situ XRD,Raman,XPS,and SEM tests.Accordingly,this optimized electrode delivers a high reversible capacity of 194 m A h g^(-1)at 0.1 A g^(-1)with a voltage of≈0.37 V and an impressive cyclability with 128 m A h g^(-1)over 2500 cycles at 1 A g^(-1).It also shows satisfactory performances at an ultrahigh mass loading of 10 mg cm^(-2).Moreover,the Sn-Bi OCl//MnO_(2)full cell displays a reversible capacity of 85 m A h g^(-1)at 0.2 A g^(-1)during cyclic test.

Flow instability of nanofuilds in jet

The flow instability of nanofluids in a jet is studied numerically under various shape factors of the velocity profile, Reynolds numbers, nanoparticle mass loadings,Knudsen numbers, and Stokes numbers. The numerical results are compared with the available theoretical results for validation. The results show that the presence of nanoparticles enhances the flow stability, and there exists a critical particle mass loading beyond which the flow is stable. As the shape factor of the velocity profile and the Reynolds number increase, the flow becomes more unstable. However, the flow becomes more stable with the increase of the particle mass loading. The wavenumber corresponding to the maximum of wave amplification becomes large with the increase of the shape factor of the velocity profile, and with the decrease of the particle mass loading and the Reynolds number. The variations of wave amplification with the Stokes number and the Knudsen number are not monotonic increasing or decreasing, and there exists a critical Stokes number and a Knudsen number with which the flow is relatively stable and most unstable,respectively, when other parameters remain unchanged. The perturbation with the first azimuthal mode makes the flow unstable more easily than that with the axisymmetric azimuthal mode. The wavenumbers corresponding to the maximum of wave amplification are more concentrated for the perturbation with the axisymmetric azimuthal mode.

Mass transport in a thin layer of power-law fluid in an Eulerian coordinate system

The mass transport velocity in a thin layer of muddy fluid is studied theoretically. The mud motion is driven by a periodic pressure load on the free surface, and the mud is described by a power-law model. Based on the key assumptions of the shallowness and the small deformation, a perturbation analysis is conducted up to the second order to find the mean Eulerian velocity in an Eulerian coordinate system. The numerical iteration method is adopted to solve these non-linear equations of the leading order. From the numerical results, both the first-order flow fields and the second-order mass transport velocities are examined. The verifications are made by comparing the numerical results with experimental results in the literature, and a good agreement is confirmed.

Advanced Potassium-Ion Batteries with High Areal Capacity

High areal capacity is one of the critically important points for potassium-ion batteries(PIBs)for practical applications,which relies on high areal-massloading electrodes operating at high reversible capacity.However,it is remarkably restricted by the mechanical instability and sluggish charge transfer induced by the increased mass loading.To overcome such challenge,we report the rationally designed bimetallic selenides CoSe2/SnSe2 heterostructures confined in hierarchical carbon nanofibers(CSSe@CNFs),which enables the electrodes robust mechanical stability,enhanced electron transport,and reduced ion-diffusion energy barrier for facilitating reaction kinetics.Accordingly,an impressive areal mass loading up to 25.3 mg cm^(−2)was achieved,which endowed a high areal capacity of 7.58 mAh cm^(−2)for such a free-standing electrode.This is stateof-the-art among the PIBs,exceeding that of today’s industry standard(∼3 mAh cm^(−2)for LIBs).Furthermore,it delivered long-term stability over 3700 cycles at high current density(∼2 mA cm^(−2),vs 1 mA cm^(−2)in LIBs).Moreover,the as-constructed full battery achieved a high energy density of 172.8 Wh kg-1 at 0.05 A g^(−1)with a satisfied cycle stability over 2000 cycles at 2 A g^(−1)and high reversibility with Coulombic efficiency of 100%;thus,signifying its bright future toward commercial application for advanced PIBs.

Scalable microfabrication of three-dimensional porous interconnected graphene scaffolds with carbon spheres for high-performance all carbon-based micro-supercapacitors

As one of the most important micro energy storage devices(MESDs),graphene-based micro-supercapacitors(G-MSCs)possess the advantages of excellent flexibility,long cycle life,affordability and high reliability.In most cases,constructing three-dimensional(3D)graphene networks is widely utilized to promote the permeation of electrolyte and enhance the utilization of active materials.In this work,conventional freeze-drying process is utilized in the fabrication of G-MSCs to constitute 3D interconnected networks micro-electrodes,and further by regulating the composition of inks,carbon spheres(CSs)at different mass loadings are introduced into the graphene scaffolds to further increase the active sites of the micro-electrodes.The fabricated all carbon-based MSC with the optimal mass loading of CSs(0.406 mg cm^(-2))exhibits a high specific areal capacitance of 17.01mF cm^(-2)at the scan rate of 10mV s^(-1)and a capacitance retention of 93.14%after 10000 cycles at the scan rate of 500 mV s^(-1).The proposed microfabrication process is facile and fully compatible with modern microtechnologies and will be highly suitable for large-scale production and integration.

Nature-inspired porous multichannel carbon monolith:Molecular cooperative enables sustainable production and high-performance capacitive energy storage

The advancement of supercapacitors(SCs)is closely bound up with the breakthrough of rational design of energy materials.Freestanding and thick carbon(FTC)materials with well-organized porous structure is promising SC electrode delivering high areal capacitive performance.However,controllable and sustainable fabrication of such FTC electrode is still of great challenges.Inspired by natural honeycombs with cross-linked multichannel structure,herein,an innovative molecular-cooperative-interaction strategy is elaborately provided to realize honeycomb-like FTC electrodes.The nitrogen-doped porous carbon monolith(N-PCM)is obtained with advantages of interconnect pore structure and abundant nitrogen doping.Such strategy is based on naturally abundant molecular precursors,and free of pore-templates,expensive polymerization catalyst,and dangerous reaction solvent,rendering it a sustainable and cost-effective process.Systematic control experiments reveal that strong interactions among molecular precursors promise the structural stability of N-PCM during carbonization,and rational selection of molecular precursors with chemical blowing features is key step for well-developed honeycomb-like pore structure.Interestingly,the optimized sample exhibits hierarchical pore structure with specific surface area of 626.4 m^(2)g^(-1)and rational N-doping of 7.01 wt%.The derived SC electrode with high mass loading of 40.1 mg cm^(-2)shows an excellent areal capacitance of 3621 mF cm^(-2)at 1 mA cm^(-2)and good rate performance with 2920 mF cm^(-2)at 25 mA cm^(-2).Moreover,the constructed aqueous symmetric SC and quasi-solid-state SC produce high energy densities of 0.32 and 0.27 mWh cm^(-2),respectively.We believe that such a composition/microstructure controllable method can promote the fabrication and development of other thick electrodes for energy storage devices.
