High surface area and high pore volume activated carbon was prepared by KOH activation of rice hull. The elec-trodes were fabricated by compounding the commercial and rice hull activated carbons with PVdF and PVdF-PVP mixed bind-ers without addition of conductivity improver. The electrodes fabricated with rice hull activated carbon and PVdF-PVP mixed binders showed the best performance because the PVP played as a pore-forming agent. The electrode exhibited excellent elec-trochemical characteristics having 7.9 W · h/kg of energy density, 33.5 F/g of specific capacitance, 0.7 Ω of ESR and good effi-ciency of self discharge compared with that fabricated with commercial activated carbons.
