In this work, B and N co-doped porous carbon with micro-mesoporous structures is derived from sodium alginate by a carbonization, activation, and hydrothermal doping process, which exhibits large specific surface area (2587 m^(2)·g^(‒1)) and high specific capacitance (190.7 F·g^(‒1)) for adsorption of salt ions and heavy metal ions. Furthermore, the materials provide a desalination capacity of 26.9 mg·g−1 at 1.2 V in 500 mg·L^(‒1) NaCl solution as well as a high removal capacity (239.6 mg·g^(‒1)) and adsorption rate (7.99 mg·g^(‒1)·min^(‒1)) for Pb2+ with an excellent cycle stability. This work can pave the way to design low-cost porous carbon with high-performances for removal of salt ions and heavy metal ions.展开更多
