要旨

Being regarded as one of the most promising desalination technologies, capacitive deionization (CDI) has attracted wide attention due to its low energy consumption, high salt removal efficiency, low cost and non-secondary pollution. However, fabricating electrode materials with low cost but highly efficient CDI performance still remains a huge challenge. Here in this work, we successfully synthesized nitrogen-doped porous hollow carbon nanoboxes (HCNBs) with controllable shell thickness and abundant hierarchical meso- and micropores. Besides Zeolite Socony Mobil-5 (ZSM-5) template-derived micropores, mesopores were newly developed by in situ polymerization of aminophenol and formaldehyde and subsequent carbonization. The prepared HCNBs samples displayed high specific surface area and pore volume, along with impressive electrochemical performances of 192.82 F g−1 at a current density of 1 A g−1. Further, the existing form of uniformly doped nitrogen in the carbon skeleton of HCNBs could be modified by heat treatment so that the conductivity and surface properties could be tailored to improve their capacitive performance and electrochemical stability. Accordingly, HCNB-based electrodes exhibited high deionization capacity of 32.3 mg g−1 at 1.4 V in 500 mg per L NaCl solution as well as high salt removal retention ability up to 95.40% after 50 cycles, suggesting their promising applications in electrochemical desalination in the future.

Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C cover high quality studies across all fields of materials chemistry. The journals focus on those theoretical or experimental studies that report new understanding, applications, properties and synthesis of materials. The journals have a strong history of publishing quality reports of interest to interdisciplinary communities and providing an efficient and rigorous service through peer review and publication. The journals are led by an international team of Editors-in-Chief and Associate Editors who are all active researchers in their fields. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C are separated by the intended application of the material studied. Broadly, applications in energy and sustainability are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry A, applications in biology and medicine are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry B, and applications in optical, magnetic and electronic devices are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry C. More than one Journal of Materials Chemistry journal may be suitable for certain fields and researchers are encouraged to submit their paper to the journal that they feel best fits for their particular article. Example topic areas within the scope of Journal of Materials Chemistry A are listed below. This list is neither exhaustive nor exclusive. Artificial photosynthesis Batteries Carbon dioxide conversion Catalysis Fuel cells Gas capture/separation/storage Green/sustainable materials Hydrogen generation Hydrogen storage Photocatalysis Photovoltaics Self-cleaning materials Self-healing materials Sensors Supercapacitors Thermoelectrics Water splitting Water treatment
