A green route is developed to prepare hierarchical porous carbon sheets (HPCS) from biomass directly under air atmosphere without inert gas protection. The as-prepared HPCS with ultra-thin structure, rich O doping sites and large SSA demonstrate excellent specific capacitance and stability when used in supercapacitor.

Electrochemical energy storage (EES) systems are attracting research attention as an alternative to fossil fuels. Advances in the design and composition of energy storage materials are particularly significant. Biomass waste-derived porous carbons are particularly suitable for use in EES systems as they are capable of tuning pore networks from hierarchical porous structures with high specific surface areas. These materials are also more sustainable and environmentally friendly and less toxic and corrosive than other energy storage materials. In this study, we report the creation of a three-dimensional hierarchical porous carbon material derived from betelnut shells. The synthesized three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical porous carbon electrode showed a specific capacitance of 290 F g−1 using 1 M KOH as an electrolyte at a current density of 1 A g−1 in three-electrode systems. Moreover, it offered a high charge/discharge stability of 94% over 5000 charge–discharge cycles at a current density of 5 A g−1. Two-electrode symmetric systems show a specific capacitance of 148 F g−1, good cyclic stability of 90. 8% for 5000 charge-discharge cycles, and high energy density of 41 Wh Kg−1 at the power density of 483 W Kg−1 in aqueous electrolyte.

The electrode material plays a key role in the performance of a supercapacitor. This study reports a method to prepare high conductivity hierarchical porous carbon with pre-crosslinking based on sodium lignosulfonate, which usually is burned as a waste effluent in pulp and paper mills. Results indicate pre-crosslinking with glutaraldehyde and ethyleneimine polymer, activation with less potassium hydroxide KOH, and finally carbonization to form carbon materials of hyperbranched macromolecules with ultra-rich specific surface area of 2780 m2/g and reasonable pore size distribution. The prepared carbon material showed high specific capacitance and good electrochemical performance when used as electrode materials for supercapacitors. At 0.5 A/g, the specific capacitance was 305 F/g, and the specific capacitance decay was only 6.2%, even after 2500 consecutive charge/discharge cycles, which revealed the huge potential for the supercapacitor characteristics with long service life. The results provided a high-valued application of industrial waste, which is important to further the sustainable development of the national economy.
