Cherry stones as precursor of activated carbons for supercapacitors
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is shown that cherry stones-wastes can be recycled as activated carbons for electrode material in supercapacitors. KOH-activation of this precursor at 800-900oC is an efficient process to obtain carbons with large specific surface areas (1100-1300 mg), average pore sizes around 0.9 to 1.3 nm, which makes them accessible to electrolyte ions, and conductivities between 1 and 2 S cm. These features lead to capacitances at low current density as high as 230 F g in 2M H2SO4 aqueous electrolyte and 120 F g in the aprotic medium 1M (C2H5)4NBF4 / acetonitrile. Furthermore, high performance is also achieved at high current densities, which means that this type of materials competes well with commercial carbons used at present in supercapacitors.

Comparison of Adsorption Properties of Activated Carbons with Different Crops Residues as Precursors for Gold Cyanide Recovery: An Iranian Gold Industry Guide
Adsorption of gold cyanide on three types of Activated Carbons (ACs) has been investigated in batch and column adsorption conditions. Applied ACs have been derived from different crops precursors i.e., coconut shell (CAC), peach stone (PAC), and walnut shell (WAC). As peach stone and walnut shells are abundant agricultural residues in Iran, the activated carbons produced from these precurso...
متن کاملHydrothermal carbons from hemicellulose-derived aqueous hydrolysis products as electrode materials for supercapacitors.
Acid pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass, required for bioethanol production, generates large amounts of by-products, such as lignin and hydrolyzed hemicellulose fractions, which have found so far very limited applications. In this work, we demonstrate how the recovered hemicellulose hydrolysis products can be effectively utilized as a precursor for the synthesis of functional carbon materi...
