Capacitance, charge dynamics, and electrolyte-surface interactions in functionalized carbide-derived carbon electrodes
Abstract
Our study analyzed the dynamics of ionic liquid electrolyte inside of defunctionalized, hydrogenated, and aminated pores of carbide-derived carbon supercapacitor electrodes. The approach tailors surface functionalities and tunes nanoporous structures to decouple the influence of pore wall composition on capacitance, ionic resistance, and long-term cyclability. Moreover, quasi-elastic neutron scattering probes the self-diffusion properties and electrode-ion interactions of electrolyte molecules confined in functionalized pores. Room-temperature ionic liquid interactions in confined pores are strongest when the hydrogen-containing groups are present on the surface. This property translates into higher capacitance and greater ion transport through pores during electrochemical cycling. Aminated pores, unlike hydrogenated pores, do not favorably interact with ionic liquid ions and, subsequently, are outperformed by defunctionalized surfaces.
