본 연구에서는 구리 이온(Cu²⁺ ion) 제거를 위한 산화철(Fe₃O₄)/다공성 탄소 복합체를 합성하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 구리 이온 제거에 대한 특성 평가를 실시하였다. SEM, XRD 분석을 진행하여 수열합성(hydrothermal) 반응을 이용한 산화철/다공성 탄소 복합체의 형태와 구조를 확인하였다. BET 분석을 통해 비표면적과 기공 크기를 확인하였으며, UV-vis 장비를 통해 성능 평가를 실시하여 자성이 있는 Fe₃O₄와 다공성 탄소와의 시너지효과를 통해 액체 상태에서 존재하는 구리 이온을 제거할 수 있는 가능성을 제시하였다.

Wood-based nanocomposite electrode materials were synthesized for application in supercapacitors by mixing nanostructured hematite (Fe₂O₃) with highly porous activated carbon (AC) produced from the wood-waste of Pinus roxburghii. The AC was characterized using various instrumental techniques and the results showed admirable electrochemical properties, such as high surface area and reasonable porosity. Firstly, AC was tested as an electrode material for supercapacitors and it showed a specific capacitance of 59.02 Fg^-1 at a current density of 1 Ag^-1, cycle life of 84.2% after 1,000 cycles (at a current density of 3 Ag^-1), and energy density of 5.1 Wh/kg at a power density of 135 Wkg^-1. However, when the AC was composited with different ratios of Fe₂O₃ (1:1, 2:1, and 1:2), there was an overall improvement in its electrochemical performance. Among the 3 ratios, 2:1 (AC:Fe₂O₃) had the best specific capacitance of 102.42 Fg^-1 at 1 Ag^-1, cycle life of 94.4% capacitance after 1,000 cycles (at a current density of 3 Ag^-1), and energy density of 8.34 Wh/kg at a power density of 395.15 Wkg^-1 in 6 M KOH electrolyte in a 3-electrode experimental setup with a high working voltage of 1.55 V. Furthermore, when Fe₂O₃ was doubled, 1:2 (AC:Fe₂O₃), the electrochemical capacitive performance of the electrode twisted and deteriorated due to either the accumulation of Fe₂O₃ particles within the composite or higher bulk resistance value of pure Fe₂O₃.
