Abstract

Developing electrochemical energy storage devices with high energy and power densities, long cycling life, as well as low cost is of great significance. Hybrid metal-ion capacitors (MICs), commonly consisting of high energy battery-type anodes and high power capacitor-type cathodes, have become a trade-off between batteries and supercapacitors. Tremendous efforts have been devoted to searching for high-performance electrode materials due to poor rate capability of anodes, low capacity of cathodes, and interior sluggish kinetic match. Carbon materials with large surface area, good electrical conductivity and stability have been considered to be ideal candidates for electrodes of MICs. In this review, the advanced carbon materials directly as cathodes and anodes of MICs are systematically summarized. Then, the key structural/chemical factors including the structure engineering, porous characteristics, and heteroatom incorporation for improving electrochemical performance of carbon materials are highlighted. Additionally, the challenges and opportunities for future research on carbon materials in MICs are also proposed.

摘要

开发高能量和功率密度、长循环寿命以及低成本的电化学储能装置是至关重要的。近年来，金属离子电容器（MICs）通常由高能量电池型阳极和高功率电容器型阴极组成，因其具有金属电池和超级电容器两者特点引起研究者的广泛兴趣。但其仍然受限于较弱的负极倍率性能、较低的正极容量以及缓慢的反应动力学，迫切需要发展新型高性能电极材料。碳材料因具有较高表面积和良好导电性被认为是MICs电极的理想候选材料之一。该综述系统地总结了先进碳材料直接作为MICs正极和负极的应用进展，重点强调了一系列提高碳材料电化学性能的方法策略，包括结构工程、多孔特性和杂原子掺杂。此外，本文提出了碳材料在MICs未来研究中的挑战和机遇。
