The activated biochar material prepared from peanut shells by pyrolysis in molten KCl and heat-treatment exhibits excellent catalytic activity comparable to commercial Pt/C, and shows outstanding supercapacitance performance. PS-800-1000-based zinc-air battery displays higher peak power density, specific capacity, and cycling stability than Pt/C-based ZAB, indicating its potential as a promising candidate for replacing precious metals in energy conversion/storage devices.
The use of activated biochar-based electrode derived from waste biomass in energy technologies, such as metal-air batteries and supercapacitors, is an important strategy for realizing energy and environmental sustainability in the future. Herein, peanut shells (waste biomass) were employed to prepare activated biochar materials by pyrolysis in molten KCl and heat-treatment. The effective dispersion and corrosion effects of molten salt for the pyrolysis products during pyrolysis obviously increase defects and specific surface area of the activated biochar materials. The prepared activated biochar material (PS-800-1000) by pyrolysis in molten KCl at 800 degrees C and heat-treatment at 1000 degrees C exhibits excellent catalytic activity with half-wave potential of 0.84 V vs. RHE, comparable to commercial Pt/C for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in 0.1 M KOH and outstanding supercapacitance performance in 6 M KOH with high specific capacitance (355 F g(-1) at 0.5 A g(-1)), which exceeds all reported biochar derived from peanut shells. The PS-800-1000-based zinc-air battery (ZAB) displays higher peak power density (141 mW cm(-2)), specific capacity (767 mAh g(Zn)(-1)) and cycling stability than Pt/C-based ZAB. The activated biochar prepared by pyrolysis in molten KCl and heat-treatment method from peanut shells can be a promising candidate for replacing precious metals in energy conversion/storage devices.
