Progress in sustainable energy development often relies upon the idea of making use of green materials and agents to fabricate the components of high‐performance energy storage devices. Herein, we show that a relatively high energy density of 11.9 Wh kg−1at a 0.1 A g−1current density in a 1 M H2SO4solution and a stable capacitance performance for up to 10000 cycles can be achieved in a symmetric supercapacitor (SC) made of two identical hierarchical porous carbon (HPC) electrodes derived from bean curd and 10 wt.% potassium carbonate (K2CO3); both of which are non‐toxic, edible materials. Such HPC, defined as HPC‐10, which was made through a one‐pot activation process followed by carbonization at 750 °C, exhibits high specific surface area of 2514 m2g−1, hierarchical porous framework (i. e., simultaneous presence of abundant micropores, mesopores, and macropores), and contains N and O dopant components. In a three‐electrode system, HPC‐10 showed specific capacitances of 486 F g−1in a 1 M H2SO4and 404 F g−1in a 6 M KOH, both obtained at a 0.1 A g−1current density. This work also evaluates systematically the porous structure and electrochemical performance of HPC as a function of K2CO3concentration from 0 wt.% to 15 wt.%.
