Abstract

Macro/meso/microporous carbon monoliths doped with sulfur have been prepared from sulfonated poly(divinylbenzene) (SPDVB) networks followed by the activation with CO2. The surface area of the resultant activated carbon monoliths reached as high as 2,400 m2 g−1. The obtained activated carbon monolith were applied to the monolithic electrode of electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) in aqueous electrolyte. The monolithic electrode of the activated carbon shows high specific capacitance (175 F g−1 at 5 mV s−1 and 206 F g−1 at 0.5 A g−1) and still retains good capacitance even at a high scan rate and current density (103 F g−1 at 200 mV s−1 and 166 F g−1 at 10 A g−1) owing to the hierarchical pore structure which allows an effective transport of ions, and to the high conductivity of the monolithic electrode.
