Abstract:
Green energy storage technologies have been demonstrated by the use of sustainable biomass -derived carbon as an electrode. Herein, for a high performance all -solid-state asymmetric supercapacitor, we used biowaste material to derive multi-heteroatom doped carbon as a non-faradaic electrode along with NiMoO4@MnO2 Nanoflower -like hybrid structure on nickel foam as a Faradaic electrode. Due to the combined effect of the large specific surface area, hierarchical porous structure of biomass -derived activated carbon (FDAC3) and the highly specific capacitance of the NiMoO4@MnO2 hybrid, designed all -solid-state asymmetric supercapacitor achieved a remarkable specific capacitance of 109.1 F g-1 at 1.4 A g-1 and maximum specific energy of 54.7 Wh/kg within a voltage window of 1.8 V. Moreover, for the practical application of designed cell devices, two different devices were connected in a series to light up different colors light emitting diodes (LEDs). These findings provide new insights to realize the full utilization of biomass waste and a novel low-cost pathway for producing highperformance materials for energy storage applications.
