摘要: 基于能源危机、环境污染等问题,开发新型的高性能储能装置至关重要,超级电容器因具有高比能量、稳定性好等优异性能而受到研究者青睐。生物质炭是由生物质材料经过预碳化和活化处理后获得的,具有发达的孔径、较高的活性比表面积,且资源廉价丰富,作为超级电容器材料具有较好的应用前景。为了满足超级电容器高比容量和高循环稳定性,目前有效的方法是将生物炭材料与赝电容材料相结合。过渡金属氧化物MnO2具有高的理论比电容、宽的电位窗口、低成本、环境友好性而成为最有应用前途的赝电容材料。研究表明:由生物炭与过渡金属氧化物复合材料制备的超级电容器,其比电容和能量密度有了明显提高。本文主要介绍了生物质炭的来源、特点及制备方法,并介绍了生物质炭与MnO2的复合制备方法及生物质炭@MnO2复合材料用于超级电容器的研究现状,最后展望了生物质炭@MnO2基超级电容器的发展趋势。Abstract: Based on the problems of energy crisis and environmental pollution, it is very important to develop new high-performance energy storage devices. Supercapacitors are favored by researchers because of their high specific energy and good stability. Biomass carbon is obtained by pre-carbonization and activation of biomass materials, with developed pore size, high active specific surface area, and rich resources, which has good application prospects as a supercapacitor material. In order to meet the high specific capacity and high cycle stability of supercapacitors, the current effective method is to combine biomass carbon materials with pseudo capacitor materials. Transition metal oxide MnO2 has become the most promising pseudocapacitor material due to its high theoretical specific capacitance, wide potential window, low cost and environmental friendliness. The research shows that the specific capacitance and energy density of the supercapacitor made of the composite material of biomass carbon and transition metal oxide are significantly improved. This paper mainly introduces the source, characteristics and preparation methods of biomass carbon, also introduces the composite methods of biomass carbon and MnO2 and the research progress of biomass carbon@MnO2 composite materials, and finally looks forward to the development trend of biomass carbon@MnO2 based supercapacitors.
