Porous structure design of carbon xerogels for advanced supercapacitor. 

 -  Applied Energy, 153, p.32-40, 2015 .
<br/><br/> A porous carbon electrode incorporating considerations both heteroatom doping and pore structure design with: combination of melamine and PEO-PPO-PEO (polyethylene oxide-polypropylene oxide-polyethylene oxide)micelles for the nitrogen-doping and optimization the micron-duct formation; integration of CO2-etching into the carbonization process for the formation of abundant micropores. The structure of these nitrogen-doped carbon xerogels (NCXs)are indeed comprised of a multi-scaled pores having nano-porous carbon in a network of micron-size percolated hollow-channels. The resulted material has an ultrahigh surface area of 4279 m2 g?1 when used as electrode for supercapacitor, which deliver a high specific capacitance of 271 F g?1 with excellent cycle stability and good rate capability.
