Popis: The model activated carbon spheres (ACSs) were optimized to be used as negative electrode in asymmetric electrochemical capacitors (ECs). A microporous commercial activated carbon was used as positive electrode. Carbon spheres (CSs) were synthesized by precipitation polymerization at room temperature followed by pyrolysis and activation. By enhancing the carbon:KOH ratio from 1:2 to 1:4, an increase in the specific surface area from 380 m2 g−1 to 2835 m2 g−1 (1:4) was achieved along with an increase in pore volume/size. Consequently, the electrochemical performance in the aqueous electrolyte was improved. After activation, low-temperature-pyrolyzed polymer spheres (400 °C) result in random-like particles with macroporous structure, while intermediate- and high-temperature-pyrolyzed materials (550 °C and 700 °C) lead to partially and totally conserved spheres. The interaction between the electrode material and electrolyte is important and is related to the texture, morphology, and surface chemistry of ACS. In 1 mol L−1 H2SO4, capacitance and rate handling are mostly affected by electrode morphology and wettability with the electrolyte. In 1 mol L−1 Li2SO4 electrolyte solution, texture and surface chemistry of the electrode material are crucial to obtain high-performance EC. Regardless of morphology, poor wetting properties of synthesized materials were found in Li2SO4, compared to the H2SO4 solution.
