Novel preparation of metal-free carbon xerogels under acidic conditions and their performance as high-energy density supercapacitor electrodes.

ABSTRACT: The development of metal-free supercapacitor electrodes with a high energy density is a crucial requirement in the global shift towards sustainable energy sources and industrial pursuit of an optimal supercapacitor. Indeed, from an industrial perspective, time assumes a paramount role in the manufacturing process. A majority of synthesis methods employed for the fabrication of carbon xerogel-based supercapacitor electrodes are characterized by prolonged durations, and result in relatively poor energy and power density. These limitations hinder their practical applications and impede their widespread manufacturing capabilities. In this study, carbon xerogel-based supercapacitor electrodes were made in the shortest time ever reported by making the condition highly acidic with hydrochloric ac
