;Fernández, J. A. ;Morishita, T. ;Toyoda, M. ;Inagaki, M.; Centeno, Teresa A.The present work shows that mesoporous materials obtained by the carbonization of mixtures of poly(vinyl alcohol) with magnesium citrate are very promising candidates for electrodes in supercapacitors. Their high performance arises essentially from a double-layer mechanism through the extent of the total surface area and one obtains at low current density (1 mA cm−2) values as high as 180 F g−1 in aqueous 2 M H2SO4 electrolyte and around 100 F g−1 in 1 M (C2H5)4NBF4 in acetonitrile. Moreover, in most cases the specific capacitance is reduced only by 15% at 100 mA cm−2, as opposed to many other types of carbons which display much higher reductions.
This study suggests that these novel carbons could be potentially more advantageous as electrodes in electrochemical capacitors than templated mesoporous carbons.
