ABSTRACT Activated carbon holds a promising avenue in the context of energy storage because its special attributes like high surface area, large pore volume, and ease preparation. Herein, we synthesized activated from low‐cost candle soot employed it as an electrode for supercapacitor application. Activation resulted specific area 1679 m 2 g −1 The electrochemical properties (ACS) unactivated (CS) are evaluated three‐electrode setup using 1 M H SO 4 electrolyte. ACS CS exhibited capacitance 467 180 F at current density A , respectively. improved performance is attributed to increase upon activation, which acts reservoir accommodate number electrolyte ions. Furthermore, two‐electrode studies symmetric cells revealed extraordinary 397 . system retained 82% 10,000 cycles 10 This 19.8 Wh kg power 574.8 W We performed functional theory (DFT) simulations validate experimental observations found that quantum greater than CS. barrier ionic diffusion across lower CS, indicating mobility activation.
