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.

Digested sludge, as the main by-product of the sewage sludge anaerobic digestion process, still contains considerable organic compounds. In this protocol, we report a facile method for preparing digested sludge-derived self-doped porous carbon material for high-performance supercapacitor electrodes via a sustainable pyrolysis/activation process. The obtained digested sludge-derived carbon material (HPDSC) exhibits versatile O-, N-doped hierarchical porous framework, high specific surface area (2103.6 m 2  g −1 ) and partial graphitization phase, which can facilitate ion transport, provide more storage sites for electrolyte ions and enhance the conductivity of active electrode materials. The HPDSC-based supercapacitor electrodes show favourable energy storage performance, with a specific capacitance of 245 F g −1 at 1.0 A g −1 in 0.5 M Na 2 SO 4 ; outstanding cycling stability, with 98.4% capacitance retention after 2000 cycles; and good rate performance (211 F g −1 at 11 A g −1 ). This work provides a unique self-doped three-dimensional hierarchical porous carbon material with a favourable charge storage capacity and at the same time finds a high value-added and environment-friendly strategy for disposal and recycling of digested sludge.
