The invention discloses a preparation process of a
coal-based high-micropore carbon
electrode material and application of the
coal-based high-micropore carbon
electrode material in a
supercapacitor, and relates to the technical field of
energy storage electrode materials. According to the method, lignite or
bituminous coal is subjected to
solvent extraction at normal temperature and normal pressure,
raffinate is subjected to hydrothermal pretreatment, and efficient activation is realized by adopting a gradient
temperature control method of low-temperature pore channel pre-construction-high-temperature short-time
etching. Comprising the following steps: performing
solvent extraction on a
coal sample at normal temperature and normal pressure; carrying out
hydrothermal treatment on the extracted heavy component; mixing the hydrothermal product with a chemical activator according to a certain proportion, placing the mixture in a tubular furnace under a protective
atmosphere, firstly heating to a primary
activation temperature for activation, and then heating to a
high activation temperature; and
pickling, washing and
drying the activated product to obtain the coal-based
porous carbon material. The process is green, simple, efficient and energy-saving, and solves the problems of non-uniform contact of an activator, easy collapse of a pore structure, low graphitization degree and the like in a traditional
activation method.
