Özet

In this study, the performance of two boron-containing compounds, C14H14BNO2 center dot HCl (BCC1) and C38H38B2Cl2N4O4 (BCC2), as electrodes in supercapacitor applications was investigated in the presence of Na2SO4 and KOH electrolyte solutions. The specific capacitance values of the compounds were compared, and the results showed that trivalent boron (BCC1) exhibited higher specific capacitance values than tetravalent boron (BCC2) in both electrolyte solutions. In the presence of Na2SO4 electrolyte solution, the specific capacitance values of the trivalent (BCC1) and tetravalent (BCC2) boron compounds at a current density of 0.75 A/g were 135.21 and 94.87 F/g, respectively, while in the presence of KOH electrolyte, the specific capacitance values of the trivalent (BCC1) and tetravalent (BCC2) boron compounds at a current density of 0.75 A/g capacitance values were determined as 106.62 and 88.25 F/g, respectively. The cycling stability of the electrodes was also studied, and it was found that the capacitance of BCC1 electrode increased gradually over the cycles, while the capacitance of BCC2 electrode decreased. The study suggests that trivalent boron can be a promising material for supercapacitor applications. However, further research is required to optimize the cycling stability of the electrodes and understand the underlying mechanism.
