Abstract

Lead-carbon hybrid ultracapacitors (Pb-C HUC) are the solution to the sulfation issue of lead-acid batteries. The Pb-C HUCs are of much interest due to the aqueous system with longer cycle life and higher power density. Here, honeycomb structured porous activated carbons with 1790 m(2) g(-1) of surface area were synthesized from Carica papaya biowaste by chemical treatment followed by carbonization at 800 degrees C (PAC-800). PAC-800 composite electrode delivers a specific capacitance of 250 F g(-1) at 1 Ag-1 and has 10000 stable cycle life in 4.5 M H2SO4. Further, a kinetic study of the PAC-800 electrode illustrates that at 2 mV s(-1), they show 61% of capacitive and 39% of pseudocapacitive charge storage. Pb-C HUCs fabricated using in situ activated PbO2 sheet as cathode and PAC-800 composite electrode as anode delivers 390 F g(-1) at 1 A g(-1) and have 93% capacitance retention over 15000 cycles at 5 A g(-1). Further, the current Pb-C HUC results are compared with commercially available high surface area (2484 m(2) g(-1)) carbons based Pb-C HUCs. This work illustrates an easy, scalable synthesis root for biowaste carbons and their electrochemical performance in Pb-C HUCs, which is on par with commercial high surface area carbons.
