The invention discloses a two-step activation preparation method of
activated carbon and application thereof in a
supercapacitor. The method comprises the following steps that blind
coal is smashed and sieved, and an additive and a binder are added to be stirred; the mixture is added into a
muffle furnace to be carbonized and then, shifted into a tubular activating oven, activated gas is introduced to be activated; diluted
hydrochloric acid is used for acid
pickling, filtering is performed, then,
distilled water is used for washing, and a KOH solution is used for dipping; one-time
activated carbon is placed into the activating oven, and protective gas is introduced to be activated; diluted
hydrochloric acid is used for acid
pickling, filtering is performed, then,
distilled water is used for washing till pH is 7, and then
drying is performed; reactivated de-
ashing activated carbon is uniformly mixed with
ethylene and
polytetrafluoroethylene after being ground, the mixture coats foamed
nickel, and after
drying is performed, tabletting is performed to prepare the
supercapacitor. Blind
coal is adopted as a
raw material,
reaction conditions are mild, on the basis of the conventional activated carbon production technology, reactivation and de-
ashing are performed, the synthesis cost is greatly lowered, and the huge application and popularization potential is achieved in the field of activated carbon for the high-performance
supercapacitor.
