Abstract

In order to improve capacitance of activated carbon for electric double layer capacitors, peptide bond was induced on the surface of the activated carbon by urea. Urea induced activated carbon has been stabilized through carbonization. Electrochemical characteristics was observed by cyclic voltammetry for specific capacitance, electrochemical impedance spectroscope for measuring resistance and charge-discharge for testing the cyclic ability. In the result, specific capacitance is increased about 22.9% than the activated carbon. And it shows excellent cycle performance and decreasing resistance with the introduction of nitrogen functional groups.

전기이중층 커패시터용 활성탄의 정전 용량 향상을 위해 우레아를 이용해 활성탄 표면에 펩티드 결합을 유도하였다. 우레아 도입에 따른 활성탄은 소성과정을 거쳐 안정화되었으며, 전기화학적 특성을 순환전류 전압법을 이용하여 정전 용량을 관찰하고, 임피던스를 통해 저항 변화를 관찰하였으며, 충방전 평가를 통해 싸이클 성능을 관찰하였다. 결과적으로 질소성 작용기의 도입으로 정전 용량은 기존 탄소재에 비해 약 22.9%의 향상을 이루었으며, 저항 감소 및 우수한 싸이클 성능을 나타냄을 확인하였다.
