Under the support of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the “973” major research project, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wang Xiangke, a research fellow at the Institute of Plasma Physics, Institute of Plasma Physics, Hefei Institute of Material Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, led a doctoral student Wu Xilin and others with the University of Science and Technology of China Professor Xu Anwu used the hydrothermal method to prepare carbon gel with more mechanical and electrical properties. Relevant research results were published in the ACS NANO (2013, 7, 3589-3597) of the American Chemical Society Nanotechnology Journal.

The researchers used the hydrothermal method to directly convert the raw material watermelon into carbon hydrogels and aerogels with more mechanical properties. The three-dimensional hydrogels and aerogels obtained from this carbon have stronger compression properties and better Of hydrophilicity. Analyzed from the microstructure, this three-dimensional carbon material is a porous structure composed of hydrophilic nano-carbon fibers and nano-spheres with network cross-links. This cross-linked three-dimensional structure makes it have a lot of space inside, so that it can absorb a lot of water and adsorb other ions or molecules like a sponge. The iron ions are adsorbed on the hydrogel, and then calcined to form a magnetic carbon aerogel, which has good electrical properties and has potential application value in supercapacitors. This magnetic carbon aerosol has a capacitance of 333.1 F / g under a current density of 1 A / g. Because of its good mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and low cost and easy preparation, the carbon gel material has broad application prospects in the fields of adsorbents, catalyst carriers, sensors, biomedicine, and pollution control.

The above research results have been highly concerned by domestic and foreign research colleagues. The American Chemical Society Chemical & Engineering News praised this work in the report as this composite aerogel could be a promising material for storing energy.
