By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Life Science Weekly -- Investigators publish new report on Chalcogens. According to news reporting originating in Jiangsu, People’s Republic of China, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, “Activated carbons (ACs) were derived from oxygen-rich lignite via chemical activation for electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC). The preparation parameters affect the pore structure and specific surface area of ACs were discussed in this work.”
The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from the China University of Mining and Technology, “The pores of the ACs are mainly micropores and the functional groups of ACs are not changed compared with SL. When the carbonized temperature is 700 degrees C, activated temperature is 800 degrees C and KOH/char ratio is 4, the AC is rich in C-O, C=O and -COOH species, exhibits excellent electrochemical performance with the maximum specific capacitance of 213 F g(-1) in 6 M KOH at the current density of 40 mA g(-1). Furthermore, the electrode exhibits excellent cycle stability.”
According to the news reporters, the research concluded: “Therefore, the AC electrodes derived from lignite are promising candidates for EDLC.”
