Problems solved by technology

CN103771408A discloses a method for preparing activated carbon for supercapacitors based on seaweed. First, multivalent metal cations are used to carry out cross-linking pretreatment on the surface of seaweed, and then a pre-carbonized intermediate with a mesoporous structure on the surface is prepared by carbonization and pickling processes. Finally, activated carbon is further activated and pickled to prepare activated carbon, but this method directly treats seaweed with metal cations, and seaweed belongs to a mixture with complex components. This treatment has problems such as incomplete reaction, low cross-linking efficiency, and uneven structure of the obtained product.
[0006] Existing biological materials and agricultural waste, such as coconut husk, rice husk, etc., can obtain electrode materials with developed pore structure by carbonizing and activating these wastes, and their specific surface area can reach 1000-3000m 2 / g, the specific capacitance value of the prepared activated carbon can generally reach 100-300F / g(H 2 SO 4 , KOH, etc.), however, at present, a key problem of activated carbon as an electrode material for supercapacitors is that the specific capacitance value still needs to be improved, and the specific capacitance drops very quickly under the condition of high current charge and discharge.
In addition, although the biomimetic materials prepared by organisms (such as seaweed) as precursors have unique complex multi-level morphology structures, they also have different structural characteristics even in different types of individuals of the same organism, making different types of activated carbon and The properties of the prepared supercapacitors are quite different, it is difficult to homogenize, and it is difficult to realize industrial preparation

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of an alga-based active carbon precursor for a super capacitor. The method mainly comprises the following steps: ultrasound and swelling and other methodsare firstly utilized for carrying out cell wall breaking of alga raw materials, so that alginate in pectin of cell walls and between cells is dissolved; a digestion process is further carried out, under the heating condition with alkali, alginates which are not dissolved in water are converted into water soluble alkali metals and extracted; a cross-linking agent is introduced, and precipitation ofpolymers is formed; washing and filtering steps are carried out, in order to discharge a large amount of inorganic salts, pigments and other impurities which are dissolved in water along with water,and the precursor is obtained. The precursor is carbonized and activated in order to obtain the active carbon material with reasonable pore structure, abundant channels, and massive specific surface area, in order to substantially improve capacity and electrochemical performance of the super capacitor with extremely good industrial application prospects.
