Problems solved by technology

After the Second World War, with the rapid development of microelectronics and integrated circuits, the performance of traditional capacitors in some applications was difficult to meet the demand, so capacitors with larger capacity were needed as backup power for these components, and the development of large-capacity, Smaller capacitors are imperative
This method also consumes a lot of energy, and the specific surface area of ​​the prepared activated carbon is small, which limits its application in supercapacitors.
[0008] At present, there is no open technology for preparing activated carbon for supercapacitors with camphor leaves as raw material and phosphoric acid as activator

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing activated carbon for supercapacitors from camphor tree leaves. The camphor tree leaves are taken as raw materials, and the activated carbon is obtained through water washing, drying, acid leaching, carbonization, acid picking and drying treatment. The raw materials, namely, the camphor tree leaves, are washed and dried after collected and crushed into strip-shaped leaf fragments with the width and the length ranging from 2 mm to 5 mm, and the strip-shaped leaf fragments are carbonized and activated in the nitrogen atmosphere at the temperature of 400-700 DEG C for 0.5-2 h; a carbonized material is washed with deionized water, and filter residues are collected; the filter residues are washed with 1-3 mol/L of an acid solution at the temperature of 30-60 DEG C while stirring, finally washed with deionized water until the pH is in a range of 6-7 and subjected to vacuum drying, and the finished product, namely, the activated carbon, is obtained. The specific surface area of the prepared activated carbon is in a range of 963.70-1424.19 m<2>/g, the specific capacity of the activated carbon is up to 95-120 F/g under the discharge current of 300 mA/g, and the activated carbon is applicable to production of double-electric-layer supercapacitors. With the adoption of the method, the camphor tree leaves are collected and utilized, pollution caused by incineration disposal is avoided, and resources are effectively utilized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing activated carbon for supercapacitors from leaves of camphor trees, which belongs to the field of chemical preparation and chemical power supply, and specifically relates to the technical field of electrode material preparation. Background technique [0002] Energy is the main driving force for the development of human society. Throughout the history of human development, every innovation in energy technology has caused major changes in social productivity and production relations, thus promoting the development of history. However, due to the rapid development of industrialization and the unrestrained exploitation of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, a series of problems such as resource shortage and environmental pollution have been caused, and the development and use of renewable energy have received increasing attention. Therefore, it is particularly important to use biomass as a raw ma...
