Hierarchical porous carbon materials were successfully prepared and controlled through a multi-step carbonization and mild-activation route using soybean straw from agricultural and forestry waste as raw material. Developing the unique hierarchical structure of soybean straw as a template during pre-carbonization process, is beneficial for regulation of micro-mesoporous structure at mild-activation route. The specific surface area of the obtained sample is controlled by adjusting the pyrolysis temperature, and reaches 2266.19 m(2) g(-1) in the presence of a small amount of alkaline activator (mass ratio of soybean straw carbon: KOH=1:2). Moreover, the abundant porosity and specific chemical structure of nitrogen and oxygen in soybean straw-based carbon materials are favorable for an better electrochemical behavior of carbon-based supercapacitor devices. In the three electrode system, the optimal sample (SSC-700) exhibits the capacitance as high as 380.5 F g(-1) at a current density of 0.5 A g(-1) , and capacitance retention 73.97% after 10000 charge and discharge cycles, and produces a high energy density of 13.2 W h kg(-1) at a power density of 52.03 W kg(-1). In the two-electrode system, the SSC700-based symmetric supercapacitor exhibits a high energy density of 8.95 W h kg(-1) at a power density of 25 W kg(-1) and is able to maintain 5 W h kg(-1) at 2500 W kg(-1). Furthermore, carbon-based symmetrical supercapacitors also show good cycle capacity, with a capacity loss rate of 0.5% in 5000 cycles. This work shows that soybean straw-based carbon materials have great application potential in high-performance energy storage devices
