Facile preparation of 3D porous agar-based heteroatom-doped carbon aerogels for high-energy density supercapacitors.

ABSTRACT: The fabrication of heteroatom-doped porous carbon materials with high electrical conductivity and large specific surface area via an environmentally friendly route is critical and challenging. Herein, nitrogen and oxygen co-doped agar porous carbon (APC) was developed for supercapacitors via a one-step carbonization method with agar as the raw material and ammonia as the activator and nitrogen source. APC outperformed pectin porous carbon, tamarind porous carbon, and the previously reported carbon-based supercapacitors with a high capacitance retention of 72% even from 0.5 A g^-1 to 20 A g^-1 and excellent cycling stability in 6 M KOH solution (retained after 10 000 cycles) with a rate of over 98.5%. Furthermore, the APC electrode-based symmetric device ex
