主 题:Electrospinning 3D nanofibrous sponge Hydrothermally generated biochar Supercapacitor electrode
摘 要:The objective of this study was to convert biochar,a byproduct generated from the hydrothermal process(in oxygen-limited environment)of biomass(e.g.,corn stover),into value-added *** specific,three-dimensional(3D)biochar-containing precursor sponge,which was made by using electrospun polymer nanofibers as skeleton support,was fabricated via an innovative *** weight ratio of biochar to polymer(in the precursor sponge)was 2/1,and it appeared that the biochar weight ratio could be further *** heat treatments(i.e.,stabilization in air and carbonization in argon),the precursor sponge was converted into carbon nanofibrous sponge that had the porosity of~90 vol%,the BET surface area of~51.7 m^(2) g^(−1),and the carbon content of~95 wt%;and it was mechanically elastic/*** electrochemical study indicated that,the carbon nanofibrous sponge could be utilized for making supercapacitor electrode with excellent rate capability and high kinetic *** study would not only demonstrate a high-value application of hydrothermally generated biochar,but also provide a facile while novel approach for the fabrication of carbon nanofibrous sponge which could be potentially used for various applications(particularly the energy storage application).
