Ultramicroporous carbon as electrode material for supercapacitors
Abstract.
Poly(vinylidene fluoride)-derived ultramicroporous carbon with a specific surface area of 1012 m2 g-1
and a very narrow pore-size distribution peaked at 0.55 nm is investigated as electrode material for
supercapacitors. The unique microstructure features enable the carbon to present not only a high
gravimetric capacitance (264 F g-1) but also a high electrode density (0.826 g cm-3), resulting in an
outstanding high volumetric capacitance of 218 F cm-3 in 6 mol L-1 KOH aqueous electrolytes. However,
the carbon shows a very small capacitance of less than 7 F g-1 in 1 mol L-1 Et4NBF4/PC, which implies the
pores are too small to be accessible even for the desolvated ions in the non-aqueous electrolyte.
