Abstract

In this work, we prepared the carbons from synthesized styrene-acrylonitrile carbon precursor. The prepared carbons were chemically activated, and then the activated SAN-based carbons were named as A-SANs. The activations were carried out at different temperatures to investigate the effect of activation temperature on the surface and electrochemical properties of the activated SAN-based carbons for using as an electrode of electric double layer capacitors (EDLC). The characteristics of A-SAN were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), surface area and pore size analysis. Also, the electrochemical behaviors were observed by cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge method. From the results, the A-SAN 700 showed excellent electrochemical property and the highest specific capacitance, but these properties decreased when the activation temperature was above $700^{\circ}C$. This is due to the fact that the activation at a temperature over $700^{\circ}C$ causes deformation of micropore structures.

본 연구에서는 합성한 styrene-acrylonitrile(SAN) 전구체를 기반으로 한 탄소를 제조하였다. 그 제조된 탄소는 화학적 환원법으로 활성화하였고, 그 활성화된 SAN 기반 탄소를 A-SAN이라 명명하였다. 전기이중층 커패시터의 전극용 A-SAN 기반 탄소의 표면 특성과 전기화학적 특성에 있어서 활성화 온도에 의한 효과를 확인하기 위해 다양한 온도에서 활성화를 진행하였다. A-SAN의 특성분석을 위해 X-선 회절분석법(XRD), 주사전자현미경(SEM) 그리고 비표면적 장치에 의해 조사되었다. 또한 전기화학적 거동은 순환전류전압과 정전류 충방전법으로 측정하였다. 그 실험 결과로부터, A-SAN 700이 우수한 전기화학적 특성과 가장 높은 비축전용량 값을 보였지만, 활성화 온도가 $700^{\circ}C$가 넘으면 이러한 특성들은 감소했다. 이것은 $700^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서의 활성화가 마이크로 기공 구조의 변형을 야기하기 때문인 것으로 사료된다.
