摘要
High-performance supercapacitor electrode materials are prepared from the commercially available activated carbon (AC) through a facile and low-cost chemical activation method. The obtained results show that AC activated by KOH with an alkali/carbon ratio of 6/1 (ACK6) possesses a specific surface area of 3405 m(2)/g, a large pore volume of 2.01 cm(3)/g, and exhibits the highest initial specific capacitance of 335 F/g at the current density of 0.5 A/g in 6 mol/L KOH, and 85% coloumbic efficiency for 5000 cycles at 20 mV/s.
