    Abstract:

    In this paper, a highly ordered mesoporous carbon material was synthesized by a soft template method with sixteen alkyl three methyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as the template and soluble starch (Starch) as the carbon source. The structures of ordered mesoporous carbon were characterized by thermal gravimetric analysis (TG), X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption desorption and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that MCM-41 ordered mesoporous carbon materials was got when the mass ratio of template and soluble starch was 1 to 1.5, carbonized for 3 h at 650 oC and removing the silica with hydrofluoric acid . The BET surface area of MCM-41 mesoporous porous carbon materials (OMC-650) was 985 m2/g with uniform and abundant mesoporous structure with pore size (2.5 nm). XRD and TEM analysis show that OMC-650 has typical MCM-41 structure with good order. These merits lead to a big specific capacitance (150 F•g-1) using OMC-650 as work electrode materials , mercuric oxide as reference electrode and platinum as auxiliary electrode with 6 mol.L-1 KOH as the electrolyte. After 1000 cycles, the specific capacitance of OMC-650 is 138 F/g with capacitance retention of 92 % and an excellent cycling stability in 6 mol•L-1 KOH aqueous electrolytes.
