Supercapacitor is the best potential candidate of the energy storage system due to the
superior charge or discharge efficiency, high power density (>10 kW kg-1), and long cycling life. Porous carbon materials as the promising electrode material have been widely used in supercapacitor. In fact, conventional porous carbon supercapacitor electrodes cannot fulfil the growing demand of high energy and power densities of supercapacitor. A large number of studies show that nitrogen doping can change the surface electronic structure of carbon materials, thus significantly improving the electrochemical properties. In addition to, the pore structure and morphology of carbon materials have great influence on the electrochemical performance. In this work, we firstly fabricated nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanotubes by using a simple mixed salts (NaCl/ZnCl2) activation strategy. The as-obtained porous carbon nanotubes exhibited excellent electrochemical performance in supercapacitor. Furthermore, two- dimension nitrogen-doping porous nanosheets were prepared by a salt template-assisted monomer deposition method. In this study, by optimizing the synthesis conditions, the as-obtained carbon nanosheets showed a high specific capacitance of 277 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 and excellent cycle stability retained 91 % after 10,000 cycles. / College of Engineering, Science and Technology / M.
