Wood-derived carbon, with its strong tracheid array structure, is an ideal material for use as a self-supporting electrode in supercapacitors. By leveraging the inherent through pore structure and surface affinity found in wood tracheids, we successfully engineered a highly spatially efficient cube-templated porous carbon framework inside carbonized wood tracheid cavities through precise control over precursor crystallization temperatures. This innovative cubic channel architecture effectively maximizes up to (79 ± 1)% of the cavity volume in wood-derived carbon while demonstrating exceptional hydrophilicity and high conductivity properties, facilitating the development of supercapacitors with enhanced areal/volumetric capacitances (2.65F cm−2/53.0F cm−3 at 5.0 mA cm−2) as well as superior areal/volumetric energy densities (0.37 mWh cm−2/7.36 mWh cm−3 at 2.5 mW cm−2). The fabrication of these cube-templated channels with high cube filling content is not only simple and precisely controllable, but also environmentally friendly. The proposed method eliminates the conventional acid-base treatment process for pore formation, facilitating the rapid development and practical implementation of thick electrodes with superior performance in supercapacitors. Moreover, it offers a universal research approach for the commercialization of wood-derived thick electrodes.
