Molecular level one-step activation of agar to activated carbon for high performance supercapacitors

Activated carbon was synthesized by a simple one-step calcination of deoxygenated agar in a hot KOH aqueous solution, in which KOH plays both deoxidant and activation agent. The deoxygenation course omits high temperature carbonization in the conventional technology and leads to molecular level acti...
