Summary: Regulating the porosity and understanding the preparation-structure-performance relationship are crucial for the development of high-performance carbon-based supercapacitors. In this study, N-doped honeycomb-like three-dimensional porous carbon was successfully fabricated from Equisetum ramosissimum Desf. weeds using a KOH-assisted hydrothermal pre-treatment and pyrolysis strategy.
