Nowadays, higher requirements are put forward to the storage and utilization of energy, and supercapacitor is a kind of energy storage electronic devices. The resulting CA-N, with a specific surface area of 320.6 m²/g and a pore volume of 0.28 cm³/g, demonstrated a remarkable supercapacitance of 283.3 F/g. As a mesoporous material, CA-N offers numerous channels for the diffusion and absorption of electrolyte ions. Furthermore, it exhibited an impressive capacity retention rate of 98.48% after 5000 charge-discharge cycles. These outstanding electrochemical properties highlight the potential of CA-N for applications in energy storage.
