Activated carbon (AC) compounds derived from biomass precursors have garnered signifi-cant attention as electrode materials in electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) due to their ready availability, cost-effectiveness, and potential for mass production. However, the accessibility of their active sites in electrochemistry has not been investigated in detail. In this study, we synthesized two novel macro/micro-porous carbon structures prepared from a chitosan precursor using an acid/potassium hydroxide activation process and then examined the relationship between their textural characteristics and capacitance as EDLCs. The material characterizations showed that the ACs, prepared through different activation processes, differed in porosity, with distinctive variations in particle shape. The sample activated at 800 ◦ C (Act-chitosan) was characterized by plate-shaped particles, a specific surface area of 4128 m2 /g, and a pore volume of 1.87 cm3 /g. Assessment of the electrochemical characteristics of Act-chitosan showed its remarkable capacitance of 183.5 F/g at a scan rate of 5 mV/s, and it maintained exceptional cyclic stability even after 10,000 cycles. The improved electrochemical performance of both chitosan-derived carbon structures could thus be attributed to their large, well-developed active sites within pores< 2 nm, despite the fact that inter-connected macro-porous particles can enhance ion accessibility on electrodes. Our findings provide a basis for the fabrication of biomass-based materials with promising applications in electrochemical energy storage systems.
