The porous carbon materials were synthesized from the straw by hydrothermal method coupled with KOH activation
of which the structure and morphology were characterized. The electrochemical properties of the porous carbon materials were evaluated by the cyclic voltammetry
galvanostatic charge/discharge and AC impedance tests in Li2SO4 electrolyte with different concentrations using a three electrodes electrochemical system. The results showed that the porous carbon materials have the best electrochemical performances in 0.5 mol·L-1 Li2SO4 electrolyte. The specific capacitance of porous carbon materials can reach 224 F·g-1 at a current density of 0.5 A·g-1
with specific capacitance retention of over 94.1% after the 1500 charge/discharge cycles
