METHOD FOR PRODUCING ACTIVATED CARBON

In a first aspect, the invention relates to a method for producing activated carbon, said method comprising the steps of: a) mixing a carbonaceous precursor with chemically activating agents to obtaina feedstock mixture; b) producing activated carbon by heating the feedstock mixture under the atmosphere of a physically activating gas; and c) performing suitable post-activation treatment of the produced activated carbon, wherein step a) comprises in sequence the sub-steps of: i. addition of a first chemically activating agent to obtain an impregnated precursor; and ii. addition of a second chemically activating agent to obtain the feedstock mixture. In a second aspect, the invention relates to an activated carbon species obtainable by the method according to the first aspect of the invention. The activated carbon species may thus be tuned to have a pore size distribution optimised for use in a carbon electrode, e.g. dominated by micropores and mesopores as indicated in figure 1. 在第一方面，本发明涉及一种制备活性炭的方法，所述方法包括以下步
