description Abstract Used as high‐performance electrodes, both structural and compositional alterations of carbon materials play very important roles in energy conversion/storage devices. Especially in supercapacitors, hierarchical pores and heteroatom doping in carbon materials are indispensable. Here the rambutan‐like hierarchically porous carbon microspheres (PCMs) have been constructed via a hydrothermal treatment, followed by carbonization/activation. The hierarchically porous microstructure is composed of three‐dimensional porous carbon networks, which give rise to a large surface area. Moreover, N and O functional groups are introduced in the as‐prepared samples, which could generate the extra pseudocapacitance. Benefitting from the interconnected hierarchical and open structure, PCM exhibits outstanding capacitive performance, for example, superior specific capacitance and rate capability (397 and 288 F g−1 at 0.5 and 20 A g−1, respectively), as well as long cycling stability (about 95% capacitance retention after 10,000 cycles). These encouraging results may pave an efficient way to fabricate advanced supercapacitors in the future.
