Biomorphic Mn3O4 nanocrystal/porous carbon microfiber composites were hydrothermally fabricated and subsequently calcined using cotton as a biotemplate. The as-prepared material exhibited a specific capacitance of 140.8 F·g−1 at 0.25 A·g−1 and an excellent cycle stability with a capacitance retention of 90.34% after 5000 cycles at 1 A·g−1. These characteristics were attributed to the introduction of carbon fiber, the high specific surface area, and the optimized microstructure inherited from the biomaterial.

The ZnCo2O4 nanorods and nanosheets were grown on nickel foam by a facile and effective hydrothermal method, respectively. The effect of the morphologies of the nanostructures on electrochemical performance was investigated. Importantly, ZnCo2O4 nanorod electrodes with a high specific surface area exhibited a higher specific capacitance of 2457.4 F g[Formula: see text] at 2 A g[Formula: see text] and remarkable cycling stability with capacitance retention of 97.7% after 1000 cycles, which are superior to those of ZnCo2O4 nanosheet electrodes. Such a result is well explained. The investigation on the electrochemical properties of these two nanostructures as electrodes confirmed that the morphology of active materials has an important impact on electrochemical properties.

Abstract Due to the low specific capacitance and small specific surface area of conventional carbon materials used as electrode materials for double-layer capacitors, the search for more ideal materials and ingenious preparation methods remains a major challenge. In this study, fractional porous carbon nanosheets were prepared by co-doping Fe and N with chitosan as nitrogen source. The advantage of this method is that the carbon nanosheets can have a large number of pore structures and produce a large specific surface area. The presence of Fe catalyzes the graphitization of carbon in the carbon layer during carbonization process, and further increases the specific surface area of the electrode material. This structure provides an efficient ion and electron transport pathway, which enables more active sites to participate in the REDOX reaction, thus significantly enhancing the electrochemical performance of SCs. The specific surface area of CS-800 is up to 1587 m2 g−1. When the current density is 0.5 A g−1, the specific capacitance of CS-800 reaches 308.84 F g−1, and remains 84.61 % of the initial value after 10,000 cycles. The Coulomb efficiency of CS-800 is almost 100 % after a long cycle, which indicates that CS-800 has more ideal double-layer capacitance and pseudo capacitance.

A hierarchically porous carbon monolith (97% porosity) was generated through the carbonization of an emulsion-templated monolith formed from a chain extended, urea-based, deep-eutectic polymer. The highly interconnected micrometer-scale porous structure had a high specific surface area (812 m2 g−1, largely microporous) and exhibited promising results for aqueous solution sorption applications.

Efficient Catalyst

Using MOF-5 as a template, the porous carbon (MDPC-600) possessing high specific surface area was obtained after carbonization and acid washing. After MDPC-600 was loaded with Cu ions, the catalyst Cu/MDPC-600 was acquired by heat treatment under nitrogen atmosphere. The catalyst was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), N2 physical adsorption (BET), field emission electron microscope (SEM), energy spectrum, and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The results show that the Cu/MDPC-600 catalyst prepared by using MOF-5 as the template has a very high specific surface area, and Cu is uniformly supported on the carrier. The catalytic hydrogen peroxide oxidation reaction of phenol hydroxylation was investigated and exhibits better catalytic activity and stability in the phenol hydroxylation reaction. The catalytic effect was best when the reaction temperature was 80°C, the reaction time was 2 h, and the amount of catalyst was 0.05 g. The conversion rate of phenol was 47.6%; the yield and selectivity of catechol were 37.8% and 79.4%, respectively. The activity of the catalyst changes little after three cycles of use.
