Porous carbon materials derived from biomass are commonly employed as electric‐double‐layer capacitors in aqueous electrolytes. However, there is a lack of detailed discussion and clarification regarding the kinetics analysis and energy storage mechanisms associated with these materials. This study focuses on the modification of starch powders through the KOH activation process, resulting in the production of porous carbon with tunable nitrogen/oxygen functional groups. The kinetics and energy storage mechanism of this particular material in both acid and alkaline aqueous electrolytes are investigated using in situ attenuated total reflectance‐infrared in a three‐electrode configuration. date: 2024-02-05 date_type: published publisher: Wiley official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/bte2.20230058 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2239527 doi: 10.1002/bte2.20230058 lyricists_name: He, Guanjie lyricists_id: GJHEX85 actors_name: Flynn, Bernadette actors_id: BFFLY94 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Battery Energy article_number: e20230058 issn: 2768-1688 citation: Ma, Caiyu; Tang, Longnian; Cheng, Haiyun; Li, Zhuangnan; Li, Wenyao; He, Guanjie; (2024) Biochar for supercapacitor electrodes: Mechanisms in aqueous electrolytes.
