摘要
The study compares the structural and electrochemical properties of 12 porous carbons based on phenolic resins, using both aqueous (H2SO4) and aprotic ((C2H5)(4)NBF4 in acetonitrile) electrolytes. It appears that they fit into the general pattern observed for other carbons. The present carbons have micropore volumes varying between 0.29 and 0.66 cm(3) g (1) and average pore widths L-o between 0.62 and 1.23 nm. Five samples are exclusively microporous, whereas seven also display a relatively important mesoporosity. This allows a direct comparison between pairs of carbons with similar micropore systems, with and without mesopores, in order to assess the role of mesoporosity in the electrochemical properties. It appears that mesopores have only a limited influence on the decrease in capacitance at high current density as opposed to earlier assumptions. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All fights reserved.
