Nanoporous carbons were prepared by using colloidal crystal as a template. Nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms and transmission electron microscope images revealed that the porous carbons exhibit hierarchical porous structures with meso/macropores and micropores. Electric double layer capacitor performance of the porous carbons was investigated in an organic electrolyte of 1M LiClO4in propylene carbonate and dimethoxy ethane. The hierarchical porous carbons exhibited large specific double layer capacitance of ca. 120Fg−1due to their large surface areas. In addition, the large capacitance was still obtained at a large current density up to 10Ag−1, which satisfies demands from the high power application such as hybrid electric vehicles. Capacitance analysis of the hierarchical porous structures revealed the contribution of meso/macropores and micropore to the electric double layer capacitance to be 8.4 and 8.1μFcm−2, respectively. The results indicated electric double layer is formed even when solvated ions are larger than pore diameters.
