Can activated carbon be used as a supercapacitor electrode?

Activated carbon is one of the most versatile materials used as an electrode material for supercapacitor applications. The preparation of activated carbon from various biomasses has attracted the attention of the scientific community in recent days.

Why is activated carbon used in supercapacitors?

The robust electrochemical kinetics lead to remarkable rate performance. Although activated carbon has been widely used for supercapacitors, the unsatisfactory volumetric capacitance and rate performance caused by the well-developed porous structure severely hinder its application in minimized and high-power devices.

Which lignite-based activated carbon is used for high performance supercapacitors?

Lignite-based activated carbon with optimal conditions is used for high performance supercapacitors. The CBAC electrode exhibits a high specific capacitance of 374.1 F g −1. Response surface methodology was used to optimize the synthesis. The microstructure and electrochemical performance of CBACs were discussed.

What is activated carbon and how does it work?

When discharge of the stored energy is required, activated carbon allows this to be achieved rapidly and without significant loss of energy, in turn restoring optimal capacity to the supercapacitor cell. This means the cell can be charged and discharged repeatedly for thousands of cycles without loss of performance.

Does activation temperature influence electrochemical performance of coal-based activated carbon in supercapacitor?
