Amorphous activated carbon (AC) material was obtained by carbonizing rice husk at low temperatures and activated by KOH at high temperatures. A series of MgO-loaded AC materials (MgO/AC) were prepared by in-situ loading of magnesium chloride. The surface morphology and elemental composition of MgO/AC materials were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), laser co-polymerization Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS), and nitrogen adsorption-desorption test. The possible relationship between pore structure and electrochemical performance was analyzed in detail. The test results indicated that 2.0MgO/AC electrodes were assembled into a symmetric supercapacitor, and the gravimetric capacitance was 211.9 F·g^-1 at 0.5 A·g^-1. It had an energy density of 18.30 Wh·kg^-1 at a power density of 0.41 kW·kg^-1 and the retention rate was 86.8% after 5 000 cycles.
