Microporous Carbon Nanoplates from Regenerated Silk Proteins for Supercapacitors. (25th February 2013) - Yun, Young Soo
Abstract Novel carbon‐based microporous nanoplates containing numerous heteroatoms (H‐CMNs) are fabricated from regenerated silk fibroin by the carbonization and activation of KOH. The H‐CMNs exhibit superior electrochemical performance, displaying a specific capacitance of 264 F/g in aqueous electrolytes, a specific energy of 133 Wh/kg, a specific power of 217 kW/kg, and a stable cycle life over 10000 cycles.
