Electrochemical double-layer capacitors (EDLC) are energy storage devices with rather low energy density, but high power density. The charges are stored at the interface between the electrode and the electrolyte. The capacitance and the transport kinetics to the interfacial surface area strongly depend on the porous nanostructure of the electrodes. Carbon aerogels, based on sol-gel derived organic precursors, are promising candidates for EDLC electrodes because their nanostructure (e.g. pore- and particlesize) is tuneable over a wide range. For the same reason these materials also represent excellent model systems for the investigation of correlations between structural properties and electrochemical characteristics. We prepared carbon aerogel EDLC electrodes with a different nanostructures by varying the catalyst and reactant concentration in the starting solution. The structure of the carbon was characterised by nitrogen sorption and scanning electron microscopy. Electrochemical investigation was performed by cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy in aqueous and organic electrolytes. The relationship between the nanostructure and the electrochemical performance of the EDLC electrodes is discussed.
