Abstract

The calyx husk of Physalis Peruviana L. was firstly pre-carburized at 400 ^oC to acquire carbon, and then porous carbon materials PLCPC-x (the ratio x represents the mass ratio of KOH to the pre-carbonized material) were prepared with the pre-carburized calyx husk as raw material and KOH solution as activating agent. The results showed that PLCPC-3 possessed a well-developed hierarchical 3D porous structure and a high specific surface area of up to 2703.75 m²·g^-¹. By means of testing in a three-electrode set with electrolyte of 6 mol·L^-1 KOH solution, it exhibited a high specific capacitance of 349.7 F·g^-1 at 0.5 A·g^-1 and a high capacitance retention rate of 78.9% at 20 A·g^-¹. In a two-electrode system, the constructed symmetric supercapacitor achieved an energy density of approximately 9.0 Wh·kg^-1 at a power density of 250 W·kg^-1, retaining 96.7% of its initial capacitance after 12000 cycles.

Key words: composite supercapacitor porous carbon material electrochemical performance
