Abstract

Rational design of electrodes to broaden the working potential window is an attractive approach to improve the energy density of asymmetric supercapacitors. Herein, a simple non-solvent-induced phase separation method was used to construct a bionic "ant nest" three-dimensional hierarchical porous carbon (HPC) without any template, realizing a three-dimensional interlaced interconnection network structure similar to that of a natural ant nest, which adsorbs more ions through a larger accessible area and facilitates the bi-continuous transport of ions and electrons. Further, the aqueous asymmetric supercapacitor assembled with MnO 2-modified HPC (HPC/MnO 2) as the positive electrode and nitrogen-doped HPC (NHPC) as the negative electrode has an energy density as high as 21 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 410 W kg −1, and as high as 17 Wh kg −1 even at a power density of 13 kW kg −1. The device exhibits an excellent electrochemical performance over a potential window of 0–1.6 V.
