摘要
N-doped highly dense uniform carbon microspheres of around 1 mu m have been prepared by a nanocasting strategy using silica particles as template and a nitrogen-rich substance (i.e. pyrrole) as carbon precursor. These carbon microspheres possess a large number of nitrogen functional groups (similar to 9wt % N), a high BET surface area of up to similar to 1300m(2) g(-1) with a porosity made up mostly of micropores (<2 nm), and a high packing density of 0.97 gcm(-3). They also show a remarkable volumetric capacitance of ca. 290 F cm(-3) in H2SO4 as a result of pseudocapacitance effects arising from the N-groups, such that they are able to keep 50 % of the capacitance at a high current density of 40 Ag-1. An additional chemical activation process with KOH has been performed to enhance the microporous network. These highly porous microspheres (2690 m(2) g(-1)), that have a lower nitrogen content (similar to 2 % wt), can achieve 92 F cm(-3) in TEABF4/AN while displaying 83 % of capacitance retention at a high current density of 40 A g(-1).
