Bacterial-cellulose-derived carbon nanofiber@MnO2 and nitrogen-doped carbon nanofiber electrode materials: An asymmetric supercapacitor with high energy and power density

Abstract

A new kind of high-performance asymmetric supercapacitor is designed with pyrolyzed bacterial cellulose (p-BC)-coated MnO2 as a positive electrode material and nitrogen-doped p-BC as a negative electrode material via an easy, efficient, large-scale, and green fabrication approach. The optimal asymmetric device possesses an excellent supercapacitive behavior with quite high energy and power density. Copyright © 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
