In situ activation graphitization to fabricate hierarchical porous graphitic carbon for supercapacitor

Abstract In situ activation–graphitization method based on the atomically dispersed K and Fe in organic salts is developed to synthesize hierarchical porous graphitic carbon by directly pyrolysis potassium citrate and iron citrate. Moreover, (NH4)2C2O4 is also employed as both N dopant and porogen t...
