Effects of the functional groups on the electrochemical properties of ordered…

Abstract. Ordered porous carbon with pore size of 80 nm (C80) was treated in concentrated nitric acid to investigate the effect of the functional groups on the electrochemical properties in supercapacitors. The optimum oxidation time for C80 with good supercapacitive performance in acidic and basic electrolytes was determined. The increase of nitrogen and oxygen groups in the surface result…
