Abstract:
Soft carbon (SC) is a promising anode material for potassium-ion hybrid capacitors (PIHCs), but there are limited K+ storage sites in common SC due to a skin-like carbon film covering on the surface. To address this issue, a simple oxidization method to completely remove the skin-like carbon film is reported and a novel accordion-like architecture of SC (ASC) is constructed with a hierarchical porous framework composed of micropores, mesopores, and macropores, all of which can be exposed to K+ electrolytes for enhanced energy storage. Importantly, this exposed structure facilitates pseudocapacitance modification by electro-deposition of highly electrochemically active nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs) to enhance kinetic performance and additional K+ storage. After annealing treatment to regulate N-doping type, the accordion-like N-GQD@ASC-500 exhibits excellent reversible capacity of 360 mAh g(-1) as well as superior rate capability and cycle stability. Kinetic, in situ Raman/electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis, and density functional theory calculation elucidate the K+ storage mechanism. As expected, the PIHC assembled with N-GQD@ASC-500 anode and porous carbon cathode delivers an ultrahigh energy/power density (171 Wh kg(-1) and 20 000 W kg(-1)) with long cycle life. This work suggests that ASC is a promising anode material for designing of high-performance PIHCs.
