Hydrodynamic cavitation-assisted preparation of porous carbon from garlic peels for supercapacitors

Ultrasonics Sonochemistry, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 94, P. 106333 - 106333

Published: Feb. 14, 2023

Hydrodynamic cavitation (HC), which can effectively induce sonochemical effects, is widely considered a promising process intensification technology. In the present study, HC was successfully utilized to intensify alkali activation of GPs for SCs, first time. Five BDCMs were synthesized following method reported in literature. For comparison, four more with HC-treated, among sample further doped nitrogen during treatment, prepared. Then all samples compared from microscopical characteristics electrochemical performance as SCs materials. The morphology study demonstrated that treatment had created many defects and amorphous carbon structures on GP-based BDCMs, highest SSA reaching 3272 m2/g (1:6-HCGP), 32 folded Raw sample's. also intensified N-doping process. XRD XPS results manifested N content been increased consequently changed electronic structure atoms, leading increase specific capacitance (1:6-HCGP+N-based SC, 227 F/g at 10 A/g). cycle proved have long-term stability, indicating HC-treated good choices energy storage technologies. Compared ultrasound-assisted method, may high density, HC-assisted enables production efficiency. This work time attempt towards industrial application energy-related materials synthesis encourages in-depth studies future.
