Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of a spirulina-based carbon material for a supercapacitor. The method comprises the following steps: according to the mass ratio of potassium oxalate to spirulina being 1.5:1, stirring spirulina and potassium oxalate in water until the mixture is uniformly mixed, carrying out centrifugal separation, collecting a precipitate, carrying out freeze drying, then calcining the dried product in an air atmosphere at 200 DEG C, and then carbonizing the dried product in an N2 atmosphere at 500-800 DEG C to obtain the three-dimensional porous spirulina-based carbon material. According to the prepared spirulina-based carbon material, a more effective folded porous carbon structure is generated through simple stirring and reaction of potassium oxalate, rich active sites and smooth diffusion channels are provided, the charge migration rate is increased, the volume effect in the electrochemical energy storage process is relieved, and the spirulina-based carbon material can be used as an electrode material to be applied to supercapacitors.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation of electrode materials, and relates to a preparation method of a spirulina-based carbon material used for a supercapacitor. Background technique [0002] With the development of consumer electronics, electric vehicles and pulse technology, there is an increasing demand for supercapacitors with long service life, high Coulombic efficiency and fast charging / discharging. Based on their energy storage mechanism, supercapacitors can be divided into two categories: electric double layer capacitors and pseudocapacitors. The electric double layer capacitance is mainly derived from the adsorption and detachment of ions at the electrode / electrolyte interface. Carbon materials have been widely used as electrode materials for supercapacitors due to their excellent electrical conductivity, customizability, and multifunctionality. [0003] In general, carbon material precursors are usually derived from by...
