The volumetric capacitance of microporous carbons in organic electrolyte
Abstract.
The study of 26 microporous carbons with average pore widths Lo between 0.7 and 1.8 nm shows that the
volume-related capacitance Cmi (F cm−3) in the organic electrolyte (C2H5)4NBF4/acetonitrile is an inverse
function of the average micropore width Lo. This means that for a given micropore volumeWo, the gravimetric
capacitance C (F g−1) is larger for carbons with smaller pores due to the higher surface to volume ratio.
Furthermore, the increase of Cmi (F cm−3) in smaller pores suggests that the surface-related capacitance
C (Fm−2) should be relatively constant in slit-shaped micropores. This has important technological consequences
for the design of carbon-based supercapacitors.
