Abstract
Due to
its cheap production, high electrical conductivity, simplicity of doping, and
enhanced hydrophilic characteristic, porous carbon foam has a lot of potential
for energy storage and conversion applications. In this study, graphene oxide
(GO) was successfully grafted onto carbon foam using a simple dip coating
technique with the help of a linker. 3D porous carbon foams were created using
a one-step carbonization from commercial melamine foam. The material was
characterized using XRD, FTIR, BET, TGA, XPS, Raman and FESEM to confirm its
structural, functional group, surface area, thermal stability, and
morphological characteristics. The stress-strain tests of the samples were
conducted on an electronic universal testing machine. These foams have
sufficient surface area (99 m2/g), a high level of C content
(79.15%), and excellent compressibility. Moreover, as a proposed material for
different applications, this distinctive GO grafted porous carbon foam also has
the tendency to deliver remarkable performance in different fields of study. In
conclusion, the GO grafted porous carbon foams have excellent prospects for
different applications due to the straightforward preparation process and
fascinating properties.

Foam
karbon berliang memiliki potensi besar dalam aplikasi penyimpanan dan penukaran
tenaga disebabkan oleh kemudahan untuk fabrikasi, kekonduksian elektrik yang
tinggi dan sifat hidrofilik yang unggul. Dalam kajian ini, grafin oksida telah
berjaya dicantumkan pada foam karbon menggunakan teknik celupan mudah. Foam
karbon berliang telah dihasilkan menggunakan satu langkah pengkarbonan dan
proses aktivasi ke atas foam melamin komersial. Bahan telah
dicirikan menggunakan XRD, FTIR, BET, XPS, Raman dan FESEM bagi mengesahkan
struktur, kumpulan berfungsi, luas permukaan dan ciri morfologi. Ujian mampat
dan regang ke atas sampel telah dijalankan dengan menggunakan ujian mesin
universal elektronik. Foam ini memiliki luas permukaan yang tinggi (99 m2/g),
kandungan karbon yang tinggi (79.15%) dan kebolehmampatan cemerlang. Tambahan
pula, sebagai elektrod cadangan bagi semua superkapasitor keadaan pepejal, foam
karbon berliang istimewa ini memiliki kecenderungan untuk memberi kapasitan
khusus yang mengagumkan. Secara kesimpulannya, foam karbon berliang memiliki
prospek cemerlang sebagai elektrod berprestatsi tinggi bagi penyimpanan tenaga
elektrokimia oleh kerana proses penyediaan yang mudah dan prestatsi
elektrokimia yang menakjubkan.
