Enhanced Performance of Electrical Double-Layer Capacitor by Controlling the Specifi c Surface Area and Pore Structure of ZIF-67

Department of Energy Engineering , Konkuk University
Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering, May 2024, 41(5), 1391-1398(8), https://doi.org/10.1007/s11814-024-00110-8

Abstract

Electrical double-layer capacitance can be enhanced by developing carbon materials with elevated specifi c surface area,

porosity, and electrical conductivity. In this study, we demonstrate a facile approach for synthesizing carbon materials

with a meticulously controlled pore structure of ZIF-67 by a precise manipulation of the precursor solution quantities. The

concentration of the precursor solution aff ected the crystal size of ZIF-67 due to the diff erent nucleation rates. After the

carbonization of the crystals, smaller cobalt nanoparticles were formed within the carbon materials derived from the larger

ZIF-67 crystal. The removal of the nanoparticles by acid treatment induced the formation of porous carbon, resulting in

the enhanced performance of the electrical double-layer capacitors. The nanoporous carbon derived from the largest-sized

ZIF-67 template exhibited a remarkable specifi c capacitance of 157 F/g at a current density of 1 A/g, retaining an impressive

85% of this value after 30,000 charging/discharging cycles at 16 A/g.
