High utilization efficiencies of alkylbenzokynones hybridized inside the pores of activated carbon for electrochemical capacitor electrodes

Abstract

, high utilization efficiencies), and a large contact area facilitates charge transfer at the large contact interface, thereby endowing the hybrids of ABQs with fast charging and discharging characteristics. HBQ molecules can be finely dispersed by liquid-phase adsorption, but the finely dispersed HBQ molecules are mobile inside the pores at room temperature and gradually form agglomerates. The difference in the existing form of BQDs is explained by the dominant interaction affecting the BQD molecules. ABQs have a strong interaction with the carbon pore surface while the intermolecular interaction is dominant for HBQs.
