The invention discloses a
porous carbon material based on high-temperature
thermal shock carbonization and KOH activation of a coconut shell material as well as a preparation method and application of the
porous carbon material. The preparation method comprises the following steps:
grinding the coconut shell material into particles, and then carrying out first
thermal shock carbonization to obtain a coconut shell pre-carbonized material; the coconut shell pre-carbonized material and KOH
powder are mixed and ground uniformly and then subjected to secondary
thermal shock carbonization to obtain the
porous carbon material, the preparation steps are simple, the consumed time is short, and the porous carbon material can be applied to a
supercapacitor. When the proportioning ratio of the coconut shell pre-carbonized material to KOH is 1: 3, the prepared porous carbon
electrode material shows the structural characteristics of large specific surface area, narrow pore size distribution and abundant pores, the electrochemical performance of the
electrode material is improved, the specific performance is high specific
capacitance of 225.15 F g <-1 > and good rate capability, and after the
current density is increased by 10 times, the specific
capacitance of the
electrode material is greatly improved. And the specific
capacitance can still reach 140.45 F g <-1 >. The preparation method is low in cost and simple and convenient to operate, has high specific capacitance and good rate capability, and is a promising
electrode material applied to supercapacitors.
