Natural bamboo is an eco-friendly, widely distributed and multifunctional plant which has fast growth rate, short maturation cycle and high production yield. Recycling the bamboo wastes can make the process cost-effective and environment friendly. Added, the bamboo waste can be carbonized yielding low-cost carbon material which can be employed as electrode materials for energy storage devices like supercapacitors, batteries and fuel cells. Bamboo-based materials have been chosen for the electrode fabrication by virtue of its unique fibrous structure and due to the larger inner surface area provided by its tubular architecture. Compared to reported activated carbon, carbons derived from bamboo wastes have shown great promises for energy related applications. In this chapter, the physico-chemical characteristics of activated carbons derived from bamboo wastes for the supercapacitor application is discussed.
