TY - THES A1 - Hwang, Jinyeon T1 - Influence of the pore structure and chemical properties of all-carbon composites on their electrochemical properties in lithium-ion capacitors T1 - Einfluss der Porenstruktur und chemischen Eigenschaften von All-Carbon-Kompositen auf ihre elektrochemischen Eigenschaften in Lithium-Ionen-Kondensatoren N2 - Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) are promising energy storage devices by asymmetrically combining anode with a high energy density close to lithium-ion batteries and cathode with a high power density and long-term stability close to supercapacitors. For the further improvement of LICs, the development of electrode materials with hierarchical porosity, nitrogen-rich lithiophilic sites, and good electrical conductivity is essential. Nitrogen-rich all-carbon composite hybrids are suitable for these conditions along with high stability and tunability, resulting in a breakthrough to achieve the high performance of LICs. In this thesis, two different all-carbon composites are suggested to unveil how the pore structure of lithiophilic composites influences the properties of LICs. Firstly, the composite with 0-dimensional zinc-templated carbon (ZTC) and hexaazatriphenylene-hexacarbonitrile (HAT) is examined how the pore structure is connected to Li-ion storage property as LIC electrode. As the pore structure of HAT/ZTC composite is easily tunable depending on the synthetic factor and ratio of each component, the results will allow deeper insights into Li-ion dynamics in different porosity, and low-cost synthesis by optimization of the HAT:ZTC ratio. Secondly, the composite with 1-dimensional nanoporous carbon fiber (ACF) and cost-effective melamine is proposed as a promising all-carbon hybrid for large-scale application. Since ACF has ultra-micropores, the numerical structure-property relationships will be calculated out not only from total pore volume but more specifically from ultra-micropore volume. From these results above, it would be possible to understand how hybrid all-carbon composites interact with lithium ions in nanoscale as well as how structural properties affect the energy storage performance. Based on this understanding derived from the simple materials modeling, it will provide a clue to design the practical hybrid materials for efficient electrodes in LICs. N2 - Lithium-Ionen-Kondensatoren (LICs) sind vielversprechende Energiespeicher, indem sie eine Anode mit einer vergleichsweise hohen Energiedichte wie die von Lithium-Ionen-Batterien und eine Kathode mit hoher Leistungsdichte und Langzeitstabilität wie die Superkondensatoren asymmetrisch kombinieren. Für die weitere Verbesserung von LICs ist die Entwicklung von Elektrodenmaterialien mit hierarchischer Porosität, stickstoffreichen lithiophilen Zentren und guter elektrischer Leitfähigkeit unerlässlich. Stickstoffreiche Vollcarbon-Verbundwerkstoffe sind für diese Bedingungen zusammen mit hoher Stabilität geeignet, was zu einem Durchbruch bei der Erzielung der hohen Leistung von LICs führt. In dieser Dissertation werden zwei verschiedene All-Carbon-Komposite vorgeschlagen, um aufzudecken, wie die Porenstruktur von lithiophilen Kompositen die Eigenschaften von LICs beeinflusst. Zunächst wird der Verbund mit 0-dimensionalem Zink-Templat-Kohlenstoff (ZTC) und Hexaazatriphenylen-Hexacarbonitril (HAT) untersucht, wie die Porenstruktur mit der Li-Ionen-Speichereigenschaft als LIC-Elektrode verbunden ist. Da die Porenstruktur von HAT/ZTC-Kompositen je nach Synthesefaktor und Verhältnis jeder Komponente leicht einstellbar ist, werden die Ergebnisse tiefere Einblicke in die Li-Ionen-Dynamik verschiedener Porositäten und eine kostengünstige Synthese durch Optimierung des Verhältnisses ermöglichen. Zweitens wird der Verbund mit 1-dimensionaler nanoporöser Kohlefaser (ACF) und kostengünstigem Melamin als vielversprechender All-Carbon-Hybrid für die großtechnische Anwendung vorgeschlagen. Da ACF Ultra-Mikroporen aufweist, werden die Struktur-Eigenschafts-Beziehungen nicht nur aus der Gesamtporen, sondern insbesondere aus Ultra-Mikroporen berechnet. Aus den obigen Ergebnissen wäre es möglich zu verstehen, wie hybride All-Carbon-Komposite mit Lithiumionen im Nanomaßstab interagieren und wie sich strukturelle Eigenschaften auf die Energiespeicherleistung auswirken. Basierend auf diesem aus der einfachen Materialmodellierung abgeleiteten Verständnis wird es einen Anhaltspunkt für das Design praktischer Hybridmaterialien für effiziente Elektroden in LICs liefern.

The synthetic protocol and the individual ratios and structures are important aspects influencing the properties of such multifunctional compounds. Their interplay is, herein, investigated by infiltration of a porous ZnO-templated carbon (ZTC) with nitrogen-rich carbon obtained by condensation of hexaazatriphenylene-hexacarbonitrile (HAT-CN) at 550-1000 degrees C. The density of lithiophilic sites can be controlled by HAT-CN content and condensation temperature. Lithium storage properties are significantly improved in comparison with those of the individual compounds and their physical mixtures. Depending on the uniformity of the formed composite, loading ratio and condensation temperature have different influence. Most stable operation at high capacity per used monomer is achieved with a slowly dried composite with an HAT-CN:ZTC mass ratio of 4:1, condensed at 550 degrees C, providing more than 400 mAh g(-1) discharge capacity at 0.1 A g(-1) and a capacity retention of 72% after 100 cycles of operation at 0.5 A g(-1) due to the homogeneity of the composite and high content of lithiophilic sites.
