Abstract

LaN is synthesized via calcining La2O3 in NH3 and studied as capacitive material for energy storage. A volumetric capacitance of 951.3 F cm–3 was found in 1 mol dm–3 Na2SO4 using a current density of 1 A g–1, with less than 1% loss of capacitance being experienced after 5000 cycles. In addition, 87.3% of the initial capacitance remained at a current density of 10 A g–1. LaN exhibits high capacitance that is attributed to subsurface space charge accumulation with a possible electric double-layer capacitor component. A reversible electrode process ensures long cycle life and favorable electrical charge transfer. The assembled LaN symmetrical capacitor showed high volumetric energy densities, facilitating high-duty applications.
