    Economic and environment friendly carbon decorated electrode for efficient energy storage devices

    The most dependent storage technologies are secondary batteries and supercapacitors. Supercapacitors are more competent regarding faster energy supply, sustainability, and high-capacity retaining. However, in supercapacitors, most research comprises the least abundant materials that raise the cost and toxicity, which are unfavorable to the environment. Therefore, we have prepared activated carbon-based earth-abundant iron oxyhydroxide material via a low-temperature hydrothermal technique. The key finding of this research is sustainable materials, with co-related studies of TEM and GCD cyclic stability (pre and post-cycling characterizations up to 10k). The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis reveals the elemental composition of the optimized sample. The electrochemical performance has been tested via galvanostatic charge-discharge analysis, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. The cyclic stability evaluation is done to see the lasting usability of the device for the 10,000th number of charging-discharging cycles, which is supported by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results in form of a Nyquist plot. The galvanostatic charge-discharge analysis revealed the specific capacitance of 372 F g?1 at 2 mA. The specific energy and power density were obtained as 40 Wh kg?1 and 4200 W kg?1, respectively. The ACF1 shows Coulombic efficiency and capacity retention as 96 % and 80 %, respectively, up to 10k cycles. We have proposed a charge storage mechanism for the fabricated electrode. A supercapacitor has been made-up and tested for the glow of LED, and the device can glow LED for 20 min. The device was repeated after two months and reproduced the LED glow for the same duration. � 2023 Elsevier Ltd

    Advanced cyclic stability and highly efficient different shaped carbonaceous nanostructured electrodes for solid-state energy storage devices
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2022-07-12T00:00:00) Singh, Nirbhay; Tanwar, Shweta; Sharma, A.L.; Yadav, B.C.
    The most reliant storage technologies are batteries and supercapacitors. While supercapacitors are more efficient in terms of faster energy delivery, sustainability, and high capacity retention. In supercapacitors, mostly utilized precursors are least abundant which are toxic and costly, as well as facing structural stability issues during the advanced charging-discharging cycles. So in the present work, we have studied the sustainability and capacity retention profile of shape-dependent carbonaceous materials in terms of cyclic stability. Here, we have prepared an environment-friendly, cost-effective carbon@FeOOH composite series by low-temperature hydrothermal method. The galvanostatic charge-discharge analysis shows a high power density of 5000 W kg?1 at a current density of 10 A g?1. The advanced capacity retention up to 92% is seen up to 15,000 cycles and 100% Coulombic efficiency till the last segment (30000th segment of charging-discharging) of galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) for optimized mesoporous carbon@FeOOH (MCF) sample. The symmetric solid-state device comprising MCF electrodes has been fabricated at the laboratory scale. It has been able to glow red LED for 18 min and a panel consisting of 16 LEDs for 5 min. A self-explanatory mechanism has also been proposed for a better understanding of readers. � 2022 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC
