Sumario:Due to various properties, green carbon nanomaterials with high specific surface area and environmentally friendly features have aroused extensive interest in energy storage device applications. Here, we report a facile, one-step carbonization of water spinach to synthesize porous carbon that exhibits a high specific surface area of ∼1559 m(2) g(−1), high specific capacitance (∼1191 F g(−1) at 1 A g(−1)), a low intercept (0.9 Ω), outstanding rate capability and superior cycling stability (94.3% capacitance retention after 10 000 cycles). Moreover, the assembled symmetric cell delivers a high energy density of ∼85 W h kg(−1) at 1200 W kg(−1) and ultra-high stability (loss of 6.8% after 10 000 cycles). An energy density of 49 W h kg(−1) could also be achieved even with a power density of up to 24 kW kg(−1), which indicates that this material could be a promising candidate for future applications in aqueous-based supercapacitors.
