Recently, the high-value utilization of food wastes has attracted great interest in sustainable development. Focusing on the major application of electrochemical energy storage (ECES), light-weight lignin-based carbon nanofibers (LCNFs) were controllably fabricated as supercapacitors from melon seed shells (MSS) and peanut shells (PS) through electrospinning and carbonizing processes. As a result, the optimal specific capacitance of 533.7 F/g in three-electrode system, energy density of 69.7 Wh/kg and power density of 780 W/Kg in two-electrode system were achieved. Surprisingly, the LCNFs also presented a satisfied electromagnetic absorption property: The minimum reflection loss (RL) value reached -37.2 dB at an absorbing frequency of 7.98 GHz with an effective frequency (RL < 10 dB) of 2.24 GHz (6.88 to 9.12 GHz) at a thickness of 3.0 mm. These features make the multifunctional LCNFs highly attractive for light-weight supercapacitor electrodes and electromagnetic wave absorbers applications.
最近,食物垃圾的高值化利用在可持续发展方面引起了极大的兴趣。本研究聚焦电化学储能(ECES)的主要应用,通过静电纺丝和碳化工艺,以西瓜籽壳(MSS)和花生壳(PS)为原料,可控地制备了轻质的基于木质素的碳纳米纤维(LCNFs)作为超级电容器。结果,在三电极系统中获得了 533.7 F/g 的最佳比电容、在双电极系统中获得了 69.7 Wh/kg 的能量密度和 780 W/Kg 的功率密度。令人惊讶的是,LCNFs 还表现出了令人满意的电磁波吸收性能:在厚度为 3.0mm 时,在 7.98GHz 的吸收频率下,最小反射损耗(RL)值达到-37.2dB,有效频率(RL<10dB)为 2.24GHz(6.88 至 9.12GHz)。这些特性使得多功能 LCNFs 非常适合作为轻质超级电容器电极和电磁波吸收体的应用。
