To enhance the electrochemical capacitance of activated carbon (AC), which is used as the electrode material for electrochemical super capacitors (ESC), the AC material was reactivated using chemical activation method and KOH as reactivation agent. The obtained material was designated as reactivated AC. Pristine AC and reactivated AC were both used as ESC electrode materials and simulated ESCs were assembled to test their electrochemical performance. Results showed that the electrochemical capacitance of the reactivated AC was enhanced up to 145.0 F·g-1 in organic electrolyte, while the pristine AC only obtained a value of 45.0 F·g-1. To determine the reason for the enhancement of the samples electrochemical capacitance, the specific surface area, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, and pore diameter distributions were investigated. Results showed that reactivation treatment enhanced the pore distribution content of 2 to 3 nm(pore diameter). Pores with diameters from2 to 3 nm(pore diameter) are thus important in the carbon material's electrochemical capacitance using organic electrolyte.
