TLDR
In this article, a facile method for obtaining extremely high surface area and uniformly porous carbon nanofibers for supercapacitors was proposed, where a mixture of polyacrylonitrile and sacrificial Nafion at different compositions have been electrospun into non-woven nanofiber mats with diameters in the range of 200-400nm.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon properties and their role in supercapacitors
TL;DR: Supercapacitors are able to store and deliver energy at relatively high rates (beyond those accessible with batteries) because the mechanism of energy storage is simple charge-separation (as in conventional capacitors) as discussed by the authors.

Anomalous Increase in Carbon Capacitance at Pore Sizes Less Than 1 Nanometer
TL;DR: The results challenge the long-held axiom that pores smaller than the size of solvated electrolyte ions are incapable of contributing to charge storage.
