ABSTRACT
Potassium-ion hybrid capacitors (PIHCs) represent a burgeoning class of electrochemical energy storage devices characterized by their remarkable energy and power densities. Utilizing amorphous carbon derived from sustainable biomass presents an economical and environmentally friendly option for anode material in high-rate potassium-ion storage applications. Nevertheless, the potassium-ion storage capacity of most biomass-derived carbon materials remains modest. Addressing this challenge, nitrogen doping engineering and the design of distinctive nanostructures emerge as effective strategies for enhancing the electrochemical performance of amorphous carbon anodes. Developing highly nitrogen-doped nanocarbon materials is a challenging task because most lignocellulosic biomasses lack nitrogen functional groups. In this work, we propose a general strategy for directly carbonizing supermolecule-mediated lignin organic molecular aggregate (OMA) to prepare highly nitrogen-doped biomass-derived nanocarbon. We obtained lignin-derived, highly nitrogen-doped turbine-like carbon (LNTC). Featuring a three-dimensional turbine-like structure composed of amorphous, thin carbon nanosheets, LNTC demonstrated a capacity of 377 mAh g-1 when used as the anode for PIHCs. This work also provides a new synthesis method for preparing highly nitrogen-doped nanocarbon materials derived from biomass.
