Biomass-derived porous carbons are considered as one of the most promising electrode materials for supercapacitors due to their low-cost and natural abundance. In this work, pinecone is used to fabricate biomass N, S, O-doped porous carbon via one-step carbonization process with KOH activation. By optimizing the additive amount of KOH and calcination temperature, the asprepared product shows a high specific surface area and pore volume up to 1593.8 m2 g−1 and 0.8582 cm3 g−1, respectively. As an electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC) electrode, the N, S, O-doped porous carbon exhibits a high specific capacitance of 285 F g−1 at 0.5 A g−1 and good rate performance with a capacitance retention of 78.6% from 0.5 to 20 A g−1. Furthermore, the as-assembled symmetric supercapacitor with 6 mol L−1 KOH as electrolyte possesses a promising energy density of 6.34 Wh kg−1 and a power density of 250 W kg−1. Outstanding cycling stability was also demonstrated with 94.4% capacitance retention after 10,000 charge/discharge cycles at 1 A g−1.

Prussian blue is a kind compound with a consistent three-dimensional structure. Here we characterized a family of Prussian blue which could have reversible insertion of cations into materials. This study details comprehensive electrochemical property information about Prussian blue electrode materials and provides a method to evaluate a series of supercapacitor materials. These hexacyanoferrates were synthesized by one step precipitation method which was low cost. They exhibited extremely different apparent morphology in the scanning electron microscope (SEM) image. And then these Prussian blue electrode materials were evaluated on room temperature for their electrochemical properties. They show a different specific capacitance and redox voltage. The kinetic study reveals reasons that influence the electrochemical properties of these active materials. First, the particle morphology has a great effect on it; Second, transition metal cations modify the C≡N bond connected with it and then influence the bond connected with the Fe atom.

Nitrogen hybridization is an attractive way to enhance the wettability and electric conductivity of porous carbon, which increases the capacitance of carbon-based supercapacitor, however, there is lack of low-cost methods to prepare the nitrogen-doped porous carbon materials. Herein, a novel facile nitrogen-containing bio-phenolic resin was synthesized by polymerization of the carbamate bio-oil, Phenol and paraformaldehyde. As a precursor of nitrogen-doped porous carbon, the nitrogen-containing bio-phenol resin was activated by the one-step molten-salt method. The resultant nitrogen-doped porous carbon showed a high specific surface area up to 1401 m2·g−1. As a supercapacitor electrode, the nitrogen-doped porous carbons showed specific capacitance of 159 F·g−1 at 0.5 A·g−1. It also exhibited high cyclic stability with 94.8% retention of the initial specific capacitance over 1000 charge-discharge cycles at 1.0 A·g−1. The results suggest that these nitrogen-containing bio-phenol resin provide a new source of nitrogen-doped porous carbon for high-performance supercapacitor electrodes.
