Fabrication of nitrogen-doped hierarchical porous carbons from Sargassum as advanced electrode materials for supercapacitors
Using Sargassum as the precursor, a novel approach was developed to synthesize three-dimensional porous carbons as high-performance electrode materials for supercapacitors via KOH activation and subsequent nitrogen-doping employing melamine as the dopant. Melamine was decomposed in the presence of K...

KOH activation and subsequent nitrogen-doping employing melamine as the dopant. Melamine was decomposed in the presence of KOH under high-temperature conditions, leading to the formation of a unique spiderweb-like carbon structure. At a proper nitrogen doping amount, the as-synthesized N
