The invention discloses a preparation method of
activated carbon for supercapacitors. The method comprises the steps of: crushing a pre-configured
biomass material; subjecting the crushed
biomass material to alkali treatment, then performing
filtration to remove impurities from the alkali treated
biomass material so as to obtain a precursor; then immersing the precursor in a
potassium hydroxide solution to conduct supersonic vibration and stirring, and then performing filtering to obtain a modified precursor; heating the modified precursor, and pre-activating the modified precursor; adding a
hydroxide of alkali into the modified precursor and conducting heating activation. The preparation method has a simple process, solves the problem of uneven
pore distribution of carbon materials, and improves the
structural consistency of carbon materials. The prepared carbon material has abundant pores, high specific surface area, and excellent
capacitance characteristics, significantly improves the
supercapacitor capacity and high-rate charge-
discharge capacity, has good circulation performance, prolongs the
supercapacitor life, and has very good economical efficiency and adaptability.
