This study reports the synthesis of surface modified activated carbon using silver nanoparticles and investigates its electrochemical performance. The addition of 3 wt% silver to the activated carbon showed the best results, making it a promising material for supercapacitor applications.
In the present work, we report the synthesis of surface modified activated carbon (AC). The surface of the activated carbon have been modified by using silver nanoparticles. The synthesis process is simple, cost effective and environment friendly. The modified-AC powders have been characterized by using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and surface area and pore size measurements. The electrochemical performance of the prepared materials have been tested by fabricating symmetric configuration of EDLC by using magnesium-ion based polymer electrolytes. The cells have been tested by using cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and galvanostatic charge-discharge technique. AC with 3 wt% of silver presents best results with specific capacitance of the order of 398 F g(-1) energy density and power density of 55 Wh kg(-1) and 2.4 kW kg(-1) making it an interesting material for supercapacitor application.
