Abstract

Developing advanced carbon materials by utilizing biomass waste has attracted much attention. Herein, a N-doped carbon material (RSM-0.33-550) was prepared by directly pyrolyzing reed straw and melamine. The as-prepared RSM-0.33-550 possessed a N content of 6.02% and a specific surface area of 547.1 m2 g-1. As the anode for supercapacitors (SCs), in 6 M KOH, such RSM-0.33-550 exhibited a capacitance of 202.8 F g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1. At a high current density of 20 A g-1, it still remained a capacitance of 158 F g-1. Notably, it delivered an excellent stability with capacity retention of 96.3% at 20 A g-1 after 5000 cycles. This work not only offer a new electrode material for SCs, but also gives a new insight for rationally utilizing the biomass waste for energy storage.
