Three-dimensional interconnected porous graphitic carbon materials are synthesized via a combination of graphitization and activation process with rice straw as the carbon source. The physicochemical properties of the three-dimensional interconnected porous graphitic carbon materials are characterized by Nitrogen adsorption/desorption, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy and Transmission electron microscopy. The results demonstrate that the as-prepared carbon is a high surface area carbon material (a specific surface area of 3333 m(2) g(-1) with abundant mesoporous and micro porous structures). And it exhibits superb performance in symmetric double layer capacitors with a high specific capacitance of 400 F g(-1) at a current density of 0.1 A g(-1), good rate performance with 312 F g(-1) under a current density of 5 A g(-1) and favorable cycle stability with 6.4% loss after 10000 cycles at a current density of 5 A g(-1) in the aqueous electrolyte of 6M KOH. Thus, rice straw is a promising carbon source for fabricating inexpensive, sustainable and high performance supercapacitors' electrode materials.
