Abstract

The performance of supercapacitors is highly related to the microstructures of electrode materials, such as components, morphology, configurations, etc. In recent years, a kind of three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical porous carbon-based composite has been attracted intensive interest due to its advantages, such as highly porous architecture, high surface area, good electrical conductivity, and high mechanical strength. 3D porous structure facilitates the electrolyte access to the interior of the electrode, and supplies electric ways for the anchored active materials, thereby improving the electric double-layer capacitance and pseudocapacitance. Additionally, the hierarchical porosity with a combination of the macro/meso/micropores be conducive to reducing internal resistance, improving ion diffusion/transport, ion storage, so as to achieve higher rate capabilities. In this chapter, we are concerned with some novel structures of the 3D hierarchical porous carbon/metal oxides or carbide composites together with their preparation methods, properties, and applications. Also, the dare of the 3D hierarchical porous carbon/metal oxides or carbide composites is also proposed.
