Ultrathin graphitic nanostructures are grown inside solid activated carbon particles by catalytic graphitization method with the aid of Ni. The graphitic nanostructures consist of 3-8 graphitic layers, forming a highly conductive network on the surface of disordered carbon frameworks. Owing to the ultrathin characteristic of the produced graphitic nanostructures, the resulted porous graphitic carbons show a high specific surface area up to 1622 m(2)/g. A detailed investigation reveals that the features of the growing graphitic nanostructures are strongly associated with the catalytic temperature as well as the state of Ni nanoparticles. Some well-dispersed fine Ni particles with diameter below 15 nm are found to be the key to form the ultrathin graphitic nanostructures at appropriate catalytic temperature. Also, a novel mechanism is proposed for the catalytic formation of the ultrathin graphitic nanostructures. As the electrode material of electrochemical capacitors, the porous graphitic carbon exhibits much higher high-rate capacitive performance compared to its activated carbon precursor.
