Abstract

The use of activated charcoal in electrodes for supercapacitors seems very promising. When activated charcoal is treated with aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution, oxygen-bearing functional groups are formed—primarily carbonyl groups. (This process is known as functionalization.) That results in approximately 40% increase in the electrical capacitance. If filler—2 wt % gold nanoparticles—is introduced in the resulting material, its pore structure is not blocked. By this means, the electrical capacitance may be increased by a further ~10%. The electrical capacitance of this nanostructured electrode material proves very stable (~86%) in repeated cycling of the potential (up to 500 cycles).
