초록

In this work, multi-functional groups, i.e., nitrogen and oxygen, contained microporous carbons (MF-MCs) were prepared by the one step carbonization of the poly(vinylidene chloride-co-acrylonitrile-co-methyl methacryalte) (PVDC-AN-MMA) without activation. The electrochemical performance of MF-MCs was investigated as a function of carbonization temperature. It was found that MF-MCs had a high specific surface area over $800m^2/g$ without additional activation, resulting from the micropore's formation by the release of chlorine groups. In addition, although functional groups decreased, specific surface area was increased with increasing carbonization temperature, leading to the enhanced electrochemical performance. The pore size of the carbon distributed mainly in small micropore of 1.5 to 2 nm, which was idal for aqueous electrolyte. Indeed, the unique microstructure features, i.e. high specific surface area and optimized pore size provided high energy storage capability of MF-MCs. These results indicated that the microporous features of MF-MCs lead to feasible electron transfer during charge/discharge duration and the presence of nitrogen and oxygen groups on the MF-MCs electrode led to a pseudocapacitive reaction.
