In　this　work,　a　hierarchically　activated　porous　carbon　(APC)　was　synthesized　using　fluorine-containing　metal-organic　framework　via　facile　combined　carbonization　and　KOH　activation　treatments.　The　influences　of　activation　conditions　on　the　surface　structures　and　electrochemical　performance　of　APC　were　systematically　studied.　Afterwards,　the　electrochemical　responses　of　APC　electrode　were　further　assessed　from　the　cyclic　voltammetry　and　galvanostatic　charge-discharge　examinations　by　6　M　KOH　electrolyte.　The　as-obtained　APC　electrode　delivered　the　high　specific　capacitances　of　540.8　and　280　F　g(-1)　at　1　and　500　A　g(-1),　correspondingly　with　superior　capacitance　retention　of　94%　after　250,000　cycles　even　at　100　A　g(-1),　which　is　showing　that　its　outstanding　capacitance,　remarkable　rate　capacity,　and　very-long　cyclic　life.　Furthermore,　the　as-assembled　APC-based　symmetrical　supercapacitor　offers　a　superb　energy　density　of　19　Wh　kg(-1)　at　182　W　kg(-1),　indicating　its　large-scale　application.　Thus,　this　work　proposes　a　potential　route　to　synthesize　highly　efficient　porous　carbon　material　for　the　future　development　of　energy　storage　systems.　(C)　2021　Elsevier　Inc.　All　rights　reserved.
