A Current

In this paper, we demonstrate the successful fabrication of nitrogen doped ordered mesoporous carbon (PNOMC) materials using polyaniline as precursor. The synthesized PNOMC material exhibits enhanced supercapacitive performance due to the additional contribution from pseudo-capacitance originating from incorporation of nitrogen into the framework of carbon materials. Although the specific surface area of ​​the material is not high (386.2 m2/g), the specific capacitance is as high as the 271 F/g at a current density of 1A/g. The fabrication of nitrogen-doped ordered mesoporous carbon with enhanced electrochemical capacitance performance provides a viable route to promote its applications in electronic devices.

Physical And Chemical

Metal nanocatalysts, as the anodic materials, have become increasingly important in fuel cells due to their unique physical and chemical properties. Here we report the ordered mesoporous carbon (CMK-3) supported silver nanocatalysts have been prepared through the wet chemical reduction by using the reduction of formaldehyde. The electrochemical properties of the Ag/CMK-3 nanocatalysts for formaldehyde oxidation are studied by cyclic voltammograms (CV) and chronoamperometric curves (i-t) in alkaline aqueous solutions. The results show that the peak current density (from CV) of the Ag/CMK-3 electrode is 112 mA cm-2, above 2 times higher than that of Ag/XC-72 at the same Ag loading (14.15 μg cm-2). Furthermore, the i-t curves demonstrate that the Ag/CMK-3 nanocatalysts are efficient and stable electrocatalysts for anodic oxidation of formaldehyde in alkaline solutions. Our results indicate that the application potential of Ag/CMK-3 nanocatalysts with the improved electrocatalytic activity has far reaching effects on fuel cells and sensors.
