Large scale vertically aligned carbon nanotubes(ACNTs) with uniform length and diameter were prepared by the pyrolysis of iron(Ⅱ) phthalocyanine at low pressure.The ACNTs were activated by electrolyte-activation,acid-activation or electrochemical activation.The performance of the capacitor based on activated ACNTs was characterized by cyclic voltammograms which was of rectangular shape,impedence spectroscopy in which the phase is above 80° and the result specific capacitance was 16~32 F/g,which suggest that the ACNTs are the promising material for the supercapacitor.
