  • Publication number: 20220407050
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a two-dimensional Ni-organic framework/rGO composite including: a two-dimensional electroconductive Ni-organic framework in which Ni and an organic ligand containing a substituted or unsubstituted C6-C30 arylhexamine are repeatedly bonded in a branched form; and reduced graphene oxide (rGO). Thus, when a composite of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and a two-dimensional Ni-MOF is prepared and used as an energy storage electrode material, the two-dimensional Ni-organic framework/rGO composite of the present disclosure can exhibit higher discharge capacity per weight due to the synergistic effect of rGO and Ni-MOF as compared to when Ni-MOF is used alone, and the composite can be used to manufacture a thin-film type electrode, which can be used as a next-generation energy storage electrode having high mechanical bending strength and energy density per volume.

  • Patent number: 10276876
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of manufacturing carbonized fine cellulose, which enables the formation of carbonized nano-sized cellulose by subjecting cellulose to drying, carbonization, and pulverization by means of shock waves using ultrasonic waves and microbubbles, thus realizing mass producibility, making it possible to fabricate a carbonized nano-sized material having uniform quality, and reducing the manufacturing costs. The carbonized fine cellulose is in the form of a nano-sized uniform carbon powder, and can thus be utilized as a catalyst support in various forms, such as fuel cell electrodes, electrodes of energy storage devices such as supercapacitors or secondary batteries, catalyst supports for micro-nano hybrid reactors, etc.

  • Patent number: 9768442
    Abstract: Provided are a carbon electrode particularly suitable to be used as a negative electrode of an energy storing apparatus and the like and a method for manufacturing the same by forming the carbon electrode by heat-treating a natural carbon material such as a natural fiber sheet including a natural fiber or cellulose sheet including a natural cellulose fiber which is a natural material other than a petroleum-based material or a petroleum-based synthetic material to reduce manufacturing cost, shorten a manufacturing process, minimize discharge of a hazardous substance, and uniformly maintain storage capacitance even in repeated charging and discharging when being applied to the energy storing apparatus. The carbon electrode includes any one of an alkaline metal particle and an alkaline earth metal particle having an average particle size of less than 100 nm which is formed on a surface in a process of carbonizing a natural carbon material.
