Abstract

The invention is in the technical fields of biomass resources utilization and preparation of electrode materials, and involves a method of preparing carbon supported transition metal sulfide electrode materials, especially a preparing method using bio-oil derived from biomass as carbon source. Typically, the sulfate solution is firstly prepared via dissolving the transition metal sulfate (such as nickel sulfate or cobalt sulfate) into methanol/water solution. Secondly, the bio-oil is collected from pyrolyzing biomass at 600-1000°C for 10 to 120 min in a flowing inert atmosphere. Finally, the carbon supported transition metal sulfide electrode materials can be obtained after calcined the collected bio-oil containing sulfate and ground. The prepared electrode materials based on the pyrolysis bio-oil display the superb supercapacitor performances: more than 1000 F/g at the current density of 1.0 A/g. Furthermore, the biomass as raw material has the advantages of low price, green sustainability, and the preparation process is facile and easy for industrial production. Besides, the invention develops and provides a new way for the high value conversion of biomass resources and the preparation of carbon-based transition metal sulfide electrode materials.

mutual conversion between chemical energy and electric energy store energy based on the
electric double layer capacitor and pseudocapacitor mechanisms. The electrochemical
supercapacitors have been widely used in daily life, aerospace, national defense, and other

density.
The transition metal sulfides have a 3d electron structure, along with the excellent
optical, electrical, magnetic as well as catalytic performances, and have become a kind of hot
research materials among the inorganic materials. Notably, the nickel sulfides and cobalt
sulfides are considered as the promising electrode materials because of non-toxicity and low
price. However, the individual transition metal sulfides usually exit as the form of
nanoparticles or nanosheets, which is prone to agglomeration or structural collapse during the
long-term charge-discharge cycles, leading to the negative effect on the ultimate
electrochemical performances. In addition, the poor conductivity of transition metal sulfides

Table 1 lists out the process parameters of preparing electrode materials and the
supercapacitor performances of electrode materials in the contrast cases and all embodiments
of the invention. It can be found from Table 1 that the carbon supported transition metal
sulfide electrode materials have the optimum supercapacitor performances by adopting the
metal sulfate solution of 5.0 wt.%, the calcination temperature of 600°C and the calcination
time of 1 h. It can be found by comparing all contrast cases that the metal sulfides have the
higher specific capacitances than the nanoporous carbon. Comparing the embodiments 1~4
with the contrast cases 1 and 2 (or comparing the embodiments 6 and 7 with the contrast
cases 1 and 3), it can be found that the specific capacitances of carbon supported transition
metal sulfide electrode materials (Embodiments 1-7) are larger than the sum of specific
capacitances for the nanoporous carbon (Contrast cases 1) and metal sulfide (Contrast cases 2
or 3), suggesting that the nanoporous carbon can effectively disperse and stabilize metal
sulfides in the carbon supported transition metal sulfide electrode materials, and significantly
improve the supercapacitor performances of electrode materials. As shown in the
embodiments 1~4, there is an optimal mass ratio of metal sulfide to nanoporous carbon.
Specifically, when the value is larger than the optimal mass ratio, there is less nanoporous
carbon, leading to the decreased conductivities and lower specific capacitances of in the
carbon supported transition metal sulfide electrode materials. When the value is less than the
optimal mass ratio, there is less metal sulfide, resulting in the decreased contribution ratio of
pseudocapacitance and lower specific capacitances of the carbon supported transition metal
sulfide electrode materials. Figure 2 shows the XRD pattern of carbon supported transition
Ni 3 S 2 electrode material (Embodiment 3), which proves that the nickel atoms exist as the form of Ni 3S2 phase. Figure 3 displays the galvanostatic charge-discharge curves of carbon
supported Ni 3S 2 electrode material (Embodiment 3). It can be determined from Figure 3 that
the high capacitance of carbon supported Ni 3S 2 electrode material is attributed to the pseudocapacitance of Ni3 S 2 phase.
Besides, in the case that other reaction parameters are same as those in embodiment 3,
the following results can be received. When methanol is substituted for alcohol, the specific
capacitances of electrode materials remain unchanged. With the further increase in the
concentration of sulfate solution, the specific capacitances of electrode materials drop sharply.
When wood, agricultural waste, water hyacinth or animal manure is used instead of platanus
leaves, the electrode materials still render the high specific capacitances, indicating that the
preparing method in the invention has universality for biomass. When the biomass is
pyrolyzed was at 600°C ~ 1000°C for different holding time (10-120 min), electrode
materials also have the high specific capacitances (more than 650 F/g). When the lower
calcination temperature (300~400°C) is adopted, the metal sulfide cannot be formed. When
the higher calcination temperature (600~ 800°C) is used, the metal sulfide is obviously
sintered, leading to the tiny specific capacitances of electrode materials. When the volumetric
concentration of hydrogen is lower than 5% in the reducing atmosphere, the metal sulfate
cannot be completely changed into sulfide after calcining for 3 h. When the hydrogen
concentration is higher than 10%, the metal sulfate can be completely converted into sulfide
after calcining for 3 h. When the hydrogen concentration is higher than 20%, the metal sulfate
can be completely transformed into sulfide after calcining for 1 h.
