以纳米CaCO3为模板、蔗糖为前躯体制备超级电容器用介孔炭电极材料.材料的结构由氮吸附、TEM表征,借助恒流充放电、循环伏安和交流阻抗评价了其在6 mol.L-1KOH电解液中的电化学电容性能.结果表明,蔗糖基介孔炭的比表面积606 m2/g,富含10~30 nm的介孔.恒流放电法测得介孔炭在电流密度50 mA/g下的比电容为125 F/g,大电流倍率性能特别突出.电流密度增大到20 000 mA/g,比电容还保持有88F/g,远高于进口电容炭,该介孔炭是一种很有前景的高功率超级电容器炭电极材料.
Mesoporous carbon for supercapacitors was prepared from sucrose using nano-CaCO3 as template.The microstructure of the carbon was characterized with N2 adsorption and transmission electron microscopy(TEM) observation.The electrochemical performances were evaluated in 6mol·L-1 KOH aqueous electrolyte with galvanostatic charge/discharge,cyclic voltammetry,and ac impedance spectroscopy.The sucrose-based mesoporous carbon had a surface area of 606 m2/g and enriched mesopores in the range of 10～30 nm.The mesoporous carbon presented a specific capacitance of 125 F/g at a current density of 50 mA/g and outstanding excellent rate performance.As the current density increased to 20 000 mA/g,its capacitance remained at 88 F/g,much higher than the commercial capacitive carbon,indicating that the mesoporous carbon is a promising electrode material for high power supercapacitors.
