Cover Story: Particle size distribution of activated carbon with a very high specific surface area was varied by means of planetary ball milling to find its greatest performances as the active material of an electric double-layer capacitor (supercapacitor). The appropriate milling process provided higher volumetric energy density even at higher power density.View this paper.
