Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were doped by ammonium borate as the sources of nitrogen and boron. Under the protection of Ar gas, boron-nitrogen doped CNTs were prepared through nitriding and boronization at high temperature. It is a conductive additive. Then, the obtained CNTs were mixed with activated carbon (AC), SP, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and cellulose fiber to prepare electrodes. With all the materials, a symmetric electric double-layer supercapacitor (EDLC) was assembled. Next, the materials and electrodes were also characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The factors, chemical connections, and specific surface area of the CNTs were analyzed by X-ray energy spectrum analysis (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), as well as a specific surface area and porosimetry analyzer (BET). In addition, the electrochemical performances of electric double-layer capacitors were tested with the help of cyclic voltammetry, constant-current charging and discharging, and so on. From the results, we can make a conclusion, that is, both B and N atoms were added into the CNTs and formed bonds successfully with carbon atoms mutually. Besides, the specific surface area is about 1.5 times than that of the CNT. When the charge/discharge current density reaches 50[Formula: see text]mA/g, we can find that the mass specific capacitance of the capacitor can run up to 32.19[Formula: see text]F/g. Also, we observe that the maximum power density is close to 220[Formula: see text]W/kg (700[Formula: see text]mA/g), and the energy density can arrive 9.31[Formula: see text]Wh/kg (50[Formula: see text]mA/g). Based on the impedance test, the electrodes are characterized with low impedance. After 2000 cycles, the boron-nitrogen doped double-layer capacitors maintain a capacitance retention ratio of above 95%. Its power density can still achieve 220[Formula: see text]W/kg when the energy density keeps at 3.46[Formula: see text]Wh/kg. In other words, the electrochemical performance functions of the electric double-layer capacitors are enhanced while the CNTs serve as the electrodes.

ABSTRACTA novel flat, wood-based carbon material with heterogeneous pores, referred to as flat lignocellulosic carbon material (FLCM), was successfully fabricated by carbonizing samples of the softwood Picea jezoensis (Ezomatsu or Jezo spruce, a Japanese conifer). Simultaneous improvements of the specific surface area of the FLCM and the affinity of electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC) for electrolyte solvents were achieved by vacuum ultraviolet/ozone (VUV/O3) treatment. The specific surface area of the VUV/O3-treated FLCM showed a 50% increase over that of the original FLCM. The spectra measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) indicated that the number of O-C=O (carboxyl or ester) bonds increased, whereas the number of C-C bonds decreased. Additionally, the feasibility of using the FLCM as a self-supporting electrode in EDLCs was examined by measuring the electrochemical properties in a three-electrode system. The FLCM was confirmed as an appropriate self-supporting EDLC electrode material without warps and cracks. In addition, the FLCM can be used without any binder. Realization of FLCM-based EDLC electrodes with bendability, an area of several tens of square centimeters, and no risk of warp or crack formation, were indicated. Thus, FLCMs present a fascinating class of self-supporting carbon electrode materials for EDLCs.
