Mesoporous carbons for supercapacitors obtained by the pyrolysis of block copolymers
-
摘要: 以嵌段共聚物为前驱体,通过直接热解聚丙烯腈嵌段苯乙烯(PAN-b-PS-b-PAN)制备新型纳米多孔炭材料。炭材料制备依赖于嵌段共聚物分子的设计,而分子量可控、分布范围较窄的嵌段共聚物则通过可逆加成链转移(RAFT)聚合方法合成。所制炭材料不仅具有较高的比表面积(950 m2·g-1),且在2~4 nm的介孔范围内孔径得到良好的控制。此外,作为电极材料在2 mol/L KOH电解液中表现出高的比容量(185 F·g-1,电流密度为0.625 A·g-1),且显示较好的循环寿命,经10 000 次循环后,能够保持初始比容量的97.5%。通过不同分子量聚合物的设计,制备结构新颖的多孔炭材料,可应用于高性能超级电容器。Abstract: Novel mesoporous carbons were prepared by the simple pyrolysis of block-copolymers, polyacrylonitrile-b-polystyrene-b-polyacrylonitrile (PAN-b-PS-b-PAN), in which PAN generates a carbon network and PS is released to form mesopores after pyrolysis. The block-copolymers were synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization and the molecular weight of each polymer block can be designed to tailor the porous structure of the mesoporous carbons. The carbons have high specific surface areas and a well-controlled mesopore size. The best mesoporous carbon has a high specific capacitance of 185 F·g-1 at 0.625 A·g-1 with a high power capability and a remarkable cycle stability in 2 mol/L KOH aqueous electrolyte.
