Condensatore a carbone super attivo

Buy Super Capacitor Activated Carbon

Activated carbon (AC) is the most used electrode material in commercial Electric Double-Layer Capacitors (EDLCs), which are the most widely used supercapacitors. AC serves an important function:
 
High Surface Area: AC has a truly high specific surface area with an enormous surface where electrostatic charges can be stored at the electrode-electrolyte interface (EDLC).
Charge storage: AC physically adsorbs the electrolyte ions to its enormous internal surface to store charge without any chemical reaction.
 
Power delivery: The porous structure allows for rapid ion adsorption/desorption, providing very high power density and very fast charge/discharge rates.
 
Stability & Long Life: The electrostatic charge storage mechanism, and the innate stability of carbon, can give excellent cycle life and reliability.
 
Conductivity: While it requires conductive additives, AC can provide a conductive carbon framework for electron transport.
 
The capacity of AC is based on the ability to easily tune its pore structure (ion accessibility) and surface chemistry. In summary, AC delivers the central supercapacitor benefits of high power, long cycle life, and wide operating temperature limits. It is a critical component for applications requiring short bursts of rapid energy or continuous cycling.

Processo e tecnologia

1. Primary Electrode Material in EDLC Supercapacitors

Activated carbon (AC) serves as the foundational electrode material in commercial Electrical Double-Layer Capacitors (EDLCs), leveraging its porous structure for electrostatic charge storage.

Panoramica della soluzione

Upon AC electrodes, charge is stored physically due to the mechanism of ion adsorption at the electrode/electrolyte interface. AC electrodes have high surface area and tunable pore subnetworks (micro/mesopores) which could help with the number of accessible ions as well as the overall charge storage capacity.

Vantaggi principali

2. Biomass-Derived Sustainable Electrodes

Agricultural waste (e.g., banana peels, coconut shells, pine needles) is converted into high-performance AC, aligning with circular economy principles.
 

Panoramica della soluzione

Biomass precursors undergo carbonization and chemical activation (e.g., KOH, self-activation) to produce AC with tailored pore hierarchies and heteroatom doping (O, N). This enhances conductivity and pseudocapacitance.

Vantaggi principali

3. Composite Electrodes with Transition Metal Hydroxides

Hybrid electrodes combine AC with transition metal hydroxides (e.g., Ni(OH)₂, Co(OH)₂) to synergize EDLC and pseudocapacitive storage.

Panoramica della soluzione

AC acts as a conductive scaffold for metal hydroxides, mitigating their poor conductivity and stacking issues. The composite leverages both double-layer capacitance (AC) and reversible faradaic reactions (hydroxides).

Vantaggi principali

4. Post-Filling for High Volumetric Performance

Low density of porous AC limits volumetric energy density. Post-filling strategies address this by densifying pore structures.

Panoramica della soluzione

Macro/mesopores in AC are filled with carbonizable agents (e.g., tannic acid), followed by carbonization. This increases density while preserving microporous charge storage sites.

Vantaggi principali

5. Surface Functional Group Engineering for Gas Suppression

Unstable oxygen functional groups on AC cause gas evolution (e.g., O₂) during cycling, leading to supercapacitor swelling.

Panoramica della soluzione

High-temperature treatment removes surface groups (e.g., carboxyl, quinone). Mixed-acid purification further reduces impurities (e.g., Fe), minimizing gas generation.
