Wood carbon slices derived from wood scraps for constructing energy storage electrodes are very important, because they have excellent characteristics, such as structural stability, long cycle life, abundant resources and low prices. However, they have low capacitance as electrode materials for supercapacitors. In this paper, we design a new concept to obtain a porous wood carbon electrode with a large specific surface area. Firstly, CO2 is used to activate carbonized wood to open some closed pores and create some new pores. The activated wood is then soaked into KOH solution to further create...
