Abstract:
Porous carbon materials have been widely used as electrode materials for supercapacitors. However, low specific capacitance severely hinders the practical application. To further improve the capacitance, this work reports a facile approach to prepare N, S co-doped hierarchical porous carbon/MnO2 composites (NSPC/MnO2). Acidified thiourea, acting as N and S source, is used to crosslink sodium alginate (SA) to give SA-based composite gels which are pyrolyzed to produce NSPC/MnO2. X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectra proved that manganese exists in the porous carbon in the form of MnO2. The obtained NSPC/MnO2 exhibit hierarchical porous structure, remarkable mesoporous feature (the proportion of mesopores and macropores reached 32.69%), and high specific surface area of 1701 m(2) g(-1). Meanwhile, NSPC/MnO2 show abundant heteroatom doping, i.e. Mn (2.05 at%), N (6.76 at%), and S (2.16 at%), which provided plenty of pseudocapacitance. The electrochemical tests show that NSPC/MnO2 as electrode material can reach a high specific capacity of 281.1 F g(-1) at 1 A g(-1) (which is almost 1.85 times higher than the comparative sample), with good cycling stability (86.02% after 5000 cycles at 10 A g(-1)).
