| Abstract Scope |
According to the Environmental Protection Agency’s National Emissions Inventory Report, hundreds of thousands of tons of particulate matter (PM2.5) are released by diesel combustion per year. The PM2.5 air pollution causes serious public health problems and is responsible for millions of worldwide deaths each year. In this study, we investigate the electrochemical energy storage capability of annealed soot PM originating from diesel exhaust. The electrochemical performance of these electrodes was tested with various electrochemical techniques. The electrode demonstrated an initial discharge capacity of 154 mAh/g at 4C rate with a capacity retention of almost 77% after 500 cycles. Kinetic analysis, obtained through cyclic voltammetry at different scan rates, indicates pseudocapacitive charging behavior in the soot composite electrode. Our study provides a viable pathway towards a sustainable energy-environment by converting an abundant pollutant into a valuable electrode material for Li-ion batteries. |
