Active carbon-based material and preparation method thereof

The invention provides an active carbon-based material and a preparation method thereof. The carbon-based material comprises the following components based on parts by weight percent: 50-90% of carbon, 0.1-35% of oxygen, 0.1-35% of nitrogen, 0.0%-10% of sulphur, 0.0%-15% of phosphorus and 0.0-15% of boron. The preparation method comprises the following step of carbonizing doped or undoped polyaniline polymer at 500-1200 DEG C for 1-24h under the protection of inert gas. Heteroatom N, O, S, P, B, H and group thereof are induced to the carbon atom to change the chemical environment of the carbon atom and increase the space charge density of the carbon atom and the polarity of the material, so that the material has surface standard faraday capacitance and double electric layer capacitance, and has higher specific capacity, good electrical conductivity, and higher energy density and power density under the condition that the specific surface area is not increased. The preparation method of the active carbon-based material has the advantages of simple technology, easily-obtained raw materials, low cost, small pollution and being capable of being produced on a large scale.
