Abstract:
Sodium-ion capacitors (SICs) have attracted enormous attention due to their high energy density and high power density. In this work, N and S codoped hollow carbon nanobelts (N/S-HCNs) are synthesized by a self-templated method. The as-synthesized carbon nanobelts exhibit excellent performance in pseudocapacitance and electric double layer anions adsorption. After pairing the N/S-HCNs cathode with a tin foil anode in a carbonate electrolyte, the obtained SIC achieves a high specific capacity of 400 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 (based on the mass of cathode material) and energy density of 250.35 Wh kg-1 at 676 W kg-1 (based on the total mass of cathode and anode materials). Besides, the presented SIC also demonstrates high cycling stability with almost 100% capacity retention after 10 000 cycles, which is among the best results of the reported SICs, suggesting the potential for high-performance energy storage applications.
