By material characterization and electrochemical methods, the influences of the activitation process on the specific surface area, pore structure and electrochemical properties of the activated carbons were investigated. The results show that specific surface area, the mesopore volume, and the specific capacitance increase with the increase of the mass ratio of KOH to char (m(KOH)/m(char)) and the activation time, respectively. When m(KOH)/m(char) is 4.0, the specific surface area and the mesopore volume reach the maximum values, i.e. 1 960 m2/g and 0.308 4 cm3/g, and the specific capacitance is 120.7 F/g synchronously. Compared with the chemical activation, the activated carbons prepared by chemical-physical activation show a larger mesopore volume, a higher ratio of mesopore and a larger specific capacitance.展开更多

CoP/CC possess an excellent electrocatalytic performance for HER, with a Tafel slope of 56 mV/dec and a low overpotential of 68 mV to achieve a current density of 10 mAcm^-2. Remarkably, the bifunctional CoP/CC used as electrode for supercapacitor exhibit a higher specific capacitance of 674 F g^-1 at a scan rate of 5 mV s^-1 and maintains long-life cycling stability, retaining 86% of the initial capacitance after 10,000 cycles. CoP/CC will be a promising candidate as electrode for HER and supercapacitor.展开更多
