However, it remains challenging to synthesize high-performance carbon electrodes in a simple, scalable and sustainable way. Here, we report a facile method for scalable synthesis of porous carbon anode by using cheap and easily accessible zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 as a template and polyvinylpyrrolidone as an additional carbon source. The obtained porous carbon shows the macroscopic sheet-like morphology, which has the highly disordered structure, expanded interlayer spacing, abundant pore structure, and nitrogen doping properties. This porous carbon anode is demonstrated to have the excellent K^(+) charge storage properties in specific capacity, rate capability, and cycling stability. A potassium-ion capacitor assembled by using this porous carbon as the anode, delivers a maximum energy density of 85.12 Wh/kg and power density of 11860 W/kg as well as long cycle life exceeding 3000 cycles. This represents a critical advance in the design of low cost and scalable carbon material for applications in energy storage devices.展开更多

文摘Superatoms are considered as promising building blocks for customizing superatomic molecules and cluster-assembly nanomaterials due to their tunable electronic structures and functionalities.Electron counting rules,which mainly adjust the shell-filling of clusters,are classical strategies in designing superatoms.Here,by employing the density functional theory(DFT)calculations,we proved that the 1,4-phenylene diisocyanide(CNC_(6)H_(4)NC)ligand could dramatically reduce the adiabatic ionization potentials(AlPs)of the aluminum-based clusters,which have 39,40,and 41 valence electrons,respectively,to give rise to superalkali species without changing their shell-filling.Moreover,the rigid structure of the ligand can be used as a bridge firmly linking the same or different aluminum-based clusters to form superatomic molecules and nanowires.In particular,the bridging process was observed to enhance their nonlinear optical(NLO)responses,which can be further promoted by the oriented external electric field(OEEF).Also,the stable cluster-assembly XAl_(12)(CNC_(6)H_(4)NC)(X=Al,C,and P)nanowires were constructed,which exhibit strong absorption in the visible light region.These findings not only suggest an effective ligand-field strategy in superatom design but also unveil the geometrical and electronic evolution from the CNC_(6)H_(4)NC-based superatoms to superatomic molecules and nanomaterials.
