摻雜多孔碳材料制備超級(jí)電容器及其電化學(xué)性能研究

摻雜多孔碳材料制備超級(jí)電容器及其電化學(xué)性能研究摘要：本文以多孔碳材料為模板，采用溶膠-凝膠方法制備了多孔碳材料的前驅(qū)體。通過不同濃度的硼酸溶液摻雜這些多孔碳材料的前驅(qū)體，成功合成了具有優(yōu)異電化學(xué)性能的摻雜多孔碳超級(jí)電容器。經(jīng)掃描電子顯微鏡和透射電子顯微鏡分析發(fā)現(xiàn)，成功制備出孔徑分布較窄且平均孔徑為2.30nm的多孔碳材料。利用電化學(xué)測(cè)試評(píng)價(jià)了所制備的摻雜多孔碳材料超級(jí)電容器的電化學(xué)性能，結(jié)果表明，所制備的摻雜多孔碳材料超級(jí)電容器具有優(yōu)異的電化學(xué)性能，其比電容量達(dá)到了223F/g，電容保持率在5000個(gè)循環(huán)后仍保持在97.5％以上，其能量密度和功率密度分別為13.67Wh/kg和502.25W/kg，表現(xiàn)出了較高的電化學(xué)性能。本研究為摻雜多孔碳材料在能源存儲(chǔ)和轉(zhuǎn)換中的應(yīng)用提供了新思路。
