Kg -1 at a specific power of 646 W Kg -1 , and displayed 99% of capacitance retention after 5000 cycles. The electrochemical performances of the P-doped porous carbon material are ascribed to its better distribution of micro/macropores, and efficient bonding states between P-C, and P-O bonding. In addition, the incorporation of P atoms in the porous carbon has contributed both EDLC behaviour from carbon structure owing to its high SBET, and pseudocapacitance due to the redox reactions by the heteroatoms.
