Lamellar activated carbons derived from Konjac sponges (KACs) have been successfully fabricated through a facile KOH activation method. By manipulating the activation temperature and KOH/C ratio, the achieved KACs exhibit ultrahigh specific surface area up to ∼3000 m2/g and hierarchical pore structure with tunable micro/mesopore distribution. Notably, KACs possess plenty of worm-shaped micropores formed by graphene stacking layers with the lateral distance close to size of hydrated electrolyte ions. Owing to optimized pore structure, high graphitization, and extra O/N doping, KACs exhibited much enhanced specific capacitance (253.0 F/g), superior rate ability (77% retention of capacitance at 10 A/g), and remarkable cycling stability (0.4% decay under 5 A/g after 2000 cycles) in the acid electrolyte. The mass production ability of KAC materials and the knowledge of correlation between texture properties and capacitive performance open new opportunities for the application of such novel biomass-derived carbons in supercapacitor devices.

Mesopores are essential to improve transport of molecules within porous network and to facilitate adsorption of larger molecules. Mesoporous activated carbons (MACs) were prepared by template synthesis and KOH activation, using modified coal tar pitch and nanosized silica as carbon precursor and imprinting template respectively. The influences of different activation conditions, including KOH/C mass ratio, activation temperature and activation time on the pore structure of MACs have been studied. The SBET, total volume and mesopore volume of the result MAC were 1356 m2/g, 0.910mL/g and 0.704 mL/g respectively, when activation conditions with KOH/C mass ratio was 3.6:1, activation temperature was 850°C and activation time was 2.0h. It is possible to control their pore structure by selecting appropriate activation conditions depending on the final application of the MACs.

Highly porous carbons were prepared from sunflower seed shell (SSS) by chemical activation and used as electrode material for electrochemical double layer capacitor (EDLC). The surface area and pore structure of the porous carbons are characterized intensively using N2 adsorption technique. The results show that the pore-structure of the carbons is closely related to activation temperature. Electrochemical measurements show that the carbons have excellent capacitive behavior and high capacitance retention ratio at high drain current, which is due to that there are both abundant macroscopic pores and micropore surface in the texture of the carbons. More importantly, the capacitive performances of these carbons are much better than ordered mesoporous carbons, thus highlighting the success of preparing high performance electrode material for EDLC from SSS.
