The exploitation of efficient renewable energy resources and the promotion of added value of agricultural products are always hot topics. In this study, we present a novel porous carbon material for high performance supercapacitor applications made from the byproduct of bean curd stick manufacture. The as-prepared carbon material possesses a hollow interconnected structure with a large specific surface area (2609 m2 g−1), while containing 5.01% oxygen and 1.75% nitrogen heteroatoms. Therefore, besides electrical double-layer capacitance, it can also produce additional pseudocapacitance to enhance the overall capacitance. Benefiting from these advantages of structure and composition, the bean curd stick based porous carbon material demonstrates a high specific capacitance of 405 F g−1 at 0.5 A g−1. Moreover, the presented porous carbon material based symmetric supercapacitor also offers a high energy density (11.35 W h kg−1 at a power density of 125 W kg−1). All the above findings indicate that the byproduct of bean curd stick manufacture is an excellent optional material for preparing high-performance supercapacitor material. Simultaneously, this work also provides an effective strategy for adding value to agricultural products.
