Nanostructured carbide-derived carbons (CDC) were synthesized from SiC powders (SiC-CDC) via gas phase chlorination within the temperature range from 1000 degrees C to 1100 degrees C. Thereafter the CDCs were additionally activated by CO2 treatment method, resulting in nearly two-fold increase in specific surface area. The results of X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy showed that the synthesized CDC materials are mainly amorphous, however containing small graphitic crystallites. The low-temperature N-2 sorption experiments were performed and the specific micropore surface areas from 1100 m(2) g(-1) up to 2270 m(2) g(-1) were obtained, depending on the extent of CO2 activation. The energy and power density characteristics of the supercapacitors based on 1M (C2H5)(3)CH3NBF4 solution in acetonitrile and SiC-CDC as an electrode material were investigated using the cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, galvanostatic charge/discharge and constant power discharge methods. The electrochemical data indicated two-times increase in specific capacitance. Most importantly, the activation of SiC-CDC with CO2 significantly increases the performance (energy density, power density, etc.) of the supercapacitors especially at higher potential scan rates and at higher power loads.
