Popis: International audience; Rapid development of the technologies based on electric energy in the last decades have stimulated intensive research on efficient power sources. Electrochemical energy conversion and storage systems are based on Faradaic reactions (charge transfer) and electrostatic attraction of ions at the electrode/electrolyte interface. The latter might be an interesting solution for applications requiring moderate energy density, high power rates, and long cycle life. Electrochemical capacitors (ECs) store the charge in a physical manner, hence, their energy density is moderate. At the same time, the lack of electrochemical reactions ensures very high power and long cycle life compared to batteries. Activated carbons with their versatile properties (like specific surface area, well-developed and suitable porosity, heteroatoms in the graphene matrix) are the most popular materials in EC application. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the carbon-based materials recently developed, with special attention devoted to those obtained by biomass carbonization and activation. Electrochemical properties demonstrated by such carbons are discussed in respect to their physicochemical characteristics
