PG - 226 LID - 10.3389/fchem.2020.00226 [doi] LID - 226 AB - Juncus is a perennial herb aquatic plant found worldwide, with high reproductive ability in warm regions. It has three-dimensional hierarchical porous triangular networks structures composited of tubular fibers. Here, juncus derived nitrogen-doped porous carbon (NDPC) was prepared by mixing juncus and ZnCl(2) through one-step pyrolysis and activation which is a low-cost, simple, and environmentally friendly method. The NDPC had hierarchical porous structures and a high specific surface area and was applied for supercapacitor and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The resulted NDPC-3-800 was prepared by mixing juncus with ZnCl(2) at a mass ratio of 1:3 and then carbonized at 800 degrees C, it was used as electrode material of a supercapacitor. The supercapacitor exhibited excellent specific capacitance of 290.5 F g(-1) and 175.0 F g(-1) in alkaline electrolyte at the current densities of 0.5 A g(-1) and 50 A g(-1), respectively. The supercapacitor showed good cycle stability, and the capacitance was maintained at 94.5% after 10,000 cycles. The NDPC-5-800 was prepared by mixing juncus with ZnCl(2) at a mass ratio of 1:5 and then carbonized at 800 degrees C. It exhibited outstanding ORR catalytic activity and stability attributing to their high specific surface area and abundant actives sites. The juncus can derive various materials for application in different fields. CI - Copyright (c) 2020 He, Yan, Song and Wang.
