The invention discloses cap-shaped nanometer
graphite as well as a preparation method and an application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of nanometer material preparation and
electrochemistry energy storage. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: firstly preparing a template agent capable of generating nonuniform
carbon deposition under
chemical vapor deposition atmosphere, generating cap-shaped nanometer
graphite on the prepared template agent, and finally removing and
drying the template agent so as to prepare the cap-shaped nanometer
graphite. The prepared cap-shaped nanometer graphite is in a cap-shaped structure, the
diameter of the widest part of the cap-shaped nanometer graphite is 6-1000nm, and the height of the cap-shaped nanometer graphite is 1 / 5-1 / 2 of the
diameter of the widest part of the cap-shaped nanometer graphite, and the specific surface area of the cap-shaped nanometer graphite is 80-2000m<2> / g. The cap-shaped nanometer graphite served as an
electrode material is used for manufacturing a
supercapacitor, wherein the
mass percent of the cap-shaped nanometer graphite to the
supercapacitor is 20-40%; the preparation method disclosed by the invention has the advantages of simple operation, low cost and environment protection; the
utilization rate of the specific surface area and the
energy density of the prepared cap-shaped nanometer graphite are high; and the effect is good when the prepared cap-shaped nanometer graphite serving as the
electrode material is used for manufacturing the
supercapacitor.
