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.

Abstract A facile and environmentally friendly approach to produce self-doped hierachically porous carbon as electrode material for high-performance supercapacitor was demonstrated. 3D honeycomb-like hierarchically porous carbon was successfully obtained by one-step carbonization and activation of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) via K2CO3. With the optimized temperature of carbonization and activation, the porous carbon material achieved well-shaped hierarchically pores (micro-, meso and macropores) like a honeycomb, ultrahigh specific surface area (1666 m2·g-1), as well as highly O-self-doping (3.6 at.%), endowing an excellent electrochemical properties for the electrode in three-electrode system. The porous carbon electrode material delivered a high specific capacitance of 300.8 F·g-1 at 1 A·g-1, an eminent rate capability of 228.4 F·g-1 at the current density up to 20 A·g-1 and outstanding cycle stability of 94.3% retention after 10000 cycles. Therefore, the CMC derived hierarchical porous carbon activated by K2CO3 would have promising foreground in application of supercapacitors.
