STEAM-GAS ACTIVATION OF THE CARBONIZED BIOMASS FOR THE PREPARATION OF ELECTRODE MATERIALS FOR SUPERCONDUCTORS
Keywords:
steam-gas activation, walnut shells, activated carbon, electrochemical capacitorAbstract
The paper considers the possibility of obtaining high-quality activated carbons (ACs) based on walnut shells (WS) obtained by carbonization and subsequent activation by water vapor, their porous structure and performance characteristics in the composition of electrochemical capacitors. The physical activation of walnut shell by the vapor-gas mixture is characterized by high yield of solid carbon having a well-developed porous texture. It is found that increasing the pressure of saturated vapor at high activation temperatures leads to the formation of microporous carbons with a high specific surface area. When using the obtained carbon materials in supercapacitors assembled with the aqueous electrolyte (1 mol • l-1 Li2SO4), the discharge capacity is
up to 100 F • g-1 (by weight of one electrode) which is comparable to commercially available ACs.
