Controlled micro/mesopores interconnected structures of three-dimensional (3D) carbon with high specific surface areas (SSA) are successfully prepared by carbonization and activation of biomass (raw rice brans) through KOH. The highest SSA of 2475 m(2) g(-1) with optimized pore volume of 1.21 cm(3) g(-1) (40% for mesopores) is achieved for KOH/RBC=4 mass ratio, than others. The as-prepared 3D porous carbon-based electrode materials for supercapacitors exhibit high specific capacitance specifically at large current densities of 10 A g(-1) and 100 A g(-1) i. e., 265 F g(-1) and 182 F g(-1) in 6 M KOH electrolyte, respectively. Moreover, a high power density ca. 1223 W kg(-1) (550 WL-1) and energy density 70 Wh kg(-1) (32 Wh L-1) are achieved on the base of active material loading (similar to 10 mg cm(2)) in the ionic liquid. The findings can open a new avenue to use abundant agricultural by-products as ideal materials with promising applications in high-performance energy-storage devices.
