Abstract

Carbon aerogel was prepared by means of the sol-gel method from resorcinol and formaldehyde through CO2 supercritical drying,freeze drying and ambient drying,and the resistivity and pore structure of the product were characterized via N 2 low-temperature adsorption desorption,four-probe method and SEM. Moreover,the influence of carbon aerogel conductive agent on the high-rate discharge performance of Li-MnO2 battery was investigated. The results indicate that (1) the carbon aerogels produced via different drying methods are of similar resistivity but distinctly different specific surface areas; (2) the carbon aerogel prepared via CO2 supercritical drying possesses the highest specific surface area (1017. 85m 2 /g) and the largest constant-current specific discharge capacity (101mAh/g at a current of 100mA); (3) the voltage plateau of the carbon aerogel prepared via CO2 supercritical drying is 80mV higher than that prepared via ambient drying; and (4) there is little difference in the 1 mA discharge capacity of different carbon aerogels. All these above-mentioned statements show that carbon aerogel conductive agents possess higher performance than the commercial acetylene black.
