High-entropy alloys (HEAs) present excellent mechanical properties. However, the exploitation of chemical properties of HEAs is far less than that of mechanical properties, which is mainly limited by the low specific surface area of HEAs synthesized by traditional methods. Thus, it is vital to develop new routes to fabricate HEAs with novel three-dimensional structures and a high specific surface area. Herein, we develop a facile approach to fabricate nanoporous noble metal quasi-HEA microspheres by melt-spinning and dealloying. The as-obtained nanoporous Cu30Au23Pt22Pd25 quasi-HEA microspheres present a hierarchical porous structure with a high specific surface area of 69.5 m2/g and a multiphase approximatively componential solid solution characteristic with a broad single-group face-centered cubic XRD pattern, which is different from the traditional single-phase or two-phase solid solution HEAs. To differentiate, these are named quasi-HEAs. The synthetic strategy proposed in this paper opens the door for the synthesis of porous quasi-HEAs related materials, and is expected to promote further applications of quasi-HEAs in various chemical fields.

We report here on a hollow-fiber hierarchical porous carbon exhibiting an ultra-high specific surface area, synthesized by a facile method of carbonization and activation, using the Metaplexis Japonica (MJ) shell. The Metaplexis Japonica-based activated carbon demonstrated a very high specific surface area of 3635 m2 g−1. Correspondingly, the derived carbonaceous material delivers an ultra-high capacitance and superb cycle life in an alkaline electrolyte. The pore-ion size compatibility is optimized using tailored hierarchical porous carbon and different ion sized organic electrolytes. In ionic liquids nonaqueous based electrolytes we tailored the MJ carbon pore structure to the electrolyte ion size. The corresponding supercapacitor shows a superior rate performance and low impedance, and the device records specific energy and specific power densities as high as 76 Wh kg−1 and 6521 W kg−1, as well as a pronounced cycling durability in the ionic liquid electrolytes. Overall, we suggest a protocol for promising carbonaceous electrode materials enabling superior supercapacitors performance.

Pre Treatment

In this paper, a well-designed process to fabricate bio-mass carbon with ultra-high specific surface area (UHSSA) and hierarchical porous (HP) structure is achieved. The process pre-treating with ethanol and KOH cooperatively is first introduced to optimize the microstructure and porosity. The as-prepared carbons present an UHSSA of ca. 3521 m2 [Formula: see text] g[Formula: see text], with large amounts of micro and mesopores. The assembled asymmetric flexible super-capacitor (SC) holds very high energy density of 49.9 Wh [Formula: see text] kg[Formula: see text] at 90 W [Formula: see text] kg[Formula: see text], and 10.3 Wh [Formula: see text] kg[Formula: see text] at the higher power density of 9 kW [Formula: see text] kg[Formula: see text], demonstrating that the device possesses long cyclic life and well stability. The exciting results reveal that our study provides an effective approach to biomass recycling by pre-treatment of ethanol and KOH producing HP carbons possessing ultra-high SSA for high-energy storage applications.
