Effects of the functional groups on the electrochemical properties of ordered porous carbon for supercapacitors
Abstract.
Ordered porous carbon with pore size of 80 nm (C80) was treated in concentrated nitric acid to investigate
the effect of the functional groups on the electrochemical properties in supercapacitors. The optimum
oxidation time for C80 with good supercapacitive performance in acidic and basic electrolytes was
determined. The increase of nitrogen and oxygen groups in the surface results in the improvement of
wettability. Though the decreased specific surface area, a remarkable increase in the specific capacitance
was observed in the as-modified C80 due to the introduction of the nitrogen and oxygen functional
groups. The modification of C80 via oxidation approach demonstrates an effective way to improve the
wettability and electrochemical properties.
