Highly porous carbon plays an important role in the fabrication of electrode materials, both for high-power supercapacitors and Li-ion batteries. It qualifies as suitable electrodes for high-power supercapacitors. The first part of this work discuss the effect of oxygen-containing functional groups (including hydroxyl, carbonyl and carboxyl groups) on the self-discharge behavior of carbon-based electrical double layer supercapacitors (EDLCs). The effects of carbon pore size and pore size distribution, pore alignment, electrolyte solvent and conducting ion are also studied. Based on the understandings of these multiple factors which have impact on the performance of carbon-based EDLCs, a novel S-doped activated carbon synthesized by carbonization and simultaneous activation of S-based polymers, which is almost free ofbottle-neck pores and performs excellent capacitance and capacitance retention, is developed. Besides their essential role in carbon-based EDLCs, highly porous carbon materials have also been intensively studied as structural scaffold and conductive additives to assist the highly capacitive but poorly conductive active electrode materials for Li-ion batteries. The second part of this work discuss the application of mesoporous activated carbon spheres as structural matrix and conductive network which enables higher capacity, better rate retention and longer cycle life of transition metal fluoride-based cathode materials, compared to the simple mixture of non-porous conductive carbon filler and the active material.
