Summary: This study investigates TiC-derived carbon (CDC) and its partially oxidized derivative (ox-red-CDC) as electrode materials for pH-neutral aqueous electrolytes.

The Effect of Modifications of Activated Carbon Materials on the Capacitive Performance: Surface, Microstructure, and Wettability

Kouao Dujearic-Stephane et al.

Summary: This review summarizes the efforts made by different research groups to enhance the performance of electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) through modification of activated carbon structures. Various porous textures, surface chemistry, and microstructure of activated carbon materials can be synthesized using different techniques, and their surface chemistry can be modified in order to improve EDLCs' performance. Introduction of heteroatoms and compositing activated carbon with metal oxide materials or conducting polymers provide additional contributions to the double-layer capacitance, leading to high capacitance. The review also discusses key parameters such as cell capacitance, operating voltage, equivalent series resistance, power density, and energy density, and how these are affected by modifying the activated carbon framework.
