In terms of ideal future energy storage systems, besides the always-pursued energy/power characteristics, long-term stability is crucial for their practical application. Here, we report a facile and sustainable strategy for the scalable fabrication of carbon aerogels with three-dimensional interconnected nanofiber networks and rationally designed hierarchical porous structures, which are based on the carbonization of bacterial cellulose assisted by the soft template of Zn-1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid. As binder-free electrodes, they deliver a fundamentally enhanced specific capacitance of 352 F ⋅ g–1 at 1 A ⋅ g–1 in a wide potential window (1.2 V, 6 M KOH) in comparison with those of bacterial cellulose–derived carbons (178 F ⋅ g–1) and most activated carbons (usually lower than 250 F ⋅ g–1). The as-assembled supercapacitors exhibit an ultrahigh capacitance of 297 F ⋅ g−1 at 1 A ⋅ g−1, remarkable energy density (14.83 Wh ⋅ kg−1 at 0.60 kW ⋅ kg−1), and extremely high stability, with 100% capacitance retention for up to 65,000 cycles at 6 A ⋅ g−1, representing their superior energy storage performance when compared with that of state-of-the-art supercapacitors of commercial activated carbons and biomass-derived analogs.

In this study, a novel negative electrode material was prepared by aligning α-Fe2O3 nanorods on a hierarchical porous carbon (HPC) skeleton. The skeleton was derived from wheat flour by a facile hydrothermal route to enhance conductivity, improve surface properties, and achieve substantially good electrochemical performances. The α-Fe2O3/HPC electrode exhibits enhanced specific capacitance of 706 F g−1, which is twice higher than that of α-Fe2O3. The advanced α-Fe2O3/HPC//PANI/HPC asymmetrical supercapacitor was built with an expanded voltage of 2.0 V in 1 M Li2SO4, possessing a specific capacitance of 212 F g−1 at 1 A g−1 and a maximum energy density of 117 Wh kg−1 at 1.0 kW kg−1, along with an excellent stability of 5.8% decay in capacitance after 5,000 cycles. This study affords a simple process to develop asymmetric supercapacitors, which exhibit high electrochemical performances and are applicable in next-generation energy storage devices, based on α-Fe2O3 hybrid materials.

High energy density batteries with high performance are significantly important for intelligent electrical vehicular systems. Iron sulfurs are recognized as one of the most promising anodes for high energy density lithium-ion batteries because of their high theoretical specific capacity and relatively stable electrochemical performance. However, their large-scale commercialized application for lithium-ion batteries are plagued by high-cost and complicated preparation methods. Here, we report a simple and cost-effective method for the scalable synthesis of nanoconfined FeS in porous carbon (defined as FeS@C) as anodes by direct pyrolysis of an iron(III) p-toluenesulfonate precursor. The carbon architecture embedded with FeS nanoparticles provides a rapid electron transport property, and its hierarchical porous structure effectively enhances the ion transport rate, thereby leading to a good electrochemical performance. The resultant FeS@C anodes exhibit high reversible capacity and long cycle life up to 500 cycles at high current density. This work provides a simple strategy for the mass production of FeS@C particles, which represents a critical step forward toward practical applications of iron sulfurs anodes.

A facile and environmentally friendly fabrication is proposed to prepare nitrogen-doped hierarchical porous activated carbon via normal-pressure popping, one-pot activation and nitrogen-doping process. The method adopts paddy as carbon precursor, KHCO3 and dicyandiamide as the safe activating agent and nitrogen dopant. The as-prepared activated carbon presents a large specific surface area of 3025 m2·g−1 resulting from the synergistic effect of KHCO3 and dicyandiamide. As an electrode material, it shows a maximum specific capacitance of 417 F·g−1 at a current density of 1 A·g−1 and very good rate performance. Furthermore, the assembled symmetric supercapacitor presents a large specific capacitance of 314.6 F·g−1 and a high energy density of 15.7 Wh·Kg−1 at 1 A·g−1, maintaining 14.4 Wh·Kg−1 even at 20 A·g−1 with the energy density retention of 91.7%. This research demonstrates that nitrogen-doped hierarchical porous activated carbon derived from paddy has a significant potential for developing a high-performance renewable supercapacitor and provides a new route for economical and large-scale production in supercapacitor application.
