Abstract

Abstract The capacitive properties of supercapacitors highly rely on the reasonable design of high‐performance electrode materials. Herein, a synergetic strategy of pre‐oxidation and pre‐carbonization is proposed to prepare coal tar pitch (CTP) based porous carbon. The formation mechanism of porous carbon is revealed. Pre‐oxidation increases the heteroatom content and promotes the decomposition of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons into small molecules, which is more conducive to improving the subsequent activation and enhancing the microporous specific surface area. Also, the autoclave pre‐carbonization promotes the polymerization of the precursors and increases the carbon yield. Benefiting from the synergistic…
