We have synthesized nitrogen-doped activated carbon by using a gelatin that is used in various foods, and we have used impedance spectroscopy to investigate its electrochemical properties. Three kinds of samples, precursor activated carbon (MSP20), nitrogen-doped activated carbon (N-MSP20), and nitrogen-doped activated carbon with heat treatment (HM-MSP20), are investigated, and the impedances of MSP20 and HM-MPS20 were similarly the lowest. The cyclic voltammetric current of HM-MSP20, however, was dominant compared to that of MSP20, implying that nitrogen doping had a positive effect on the capacitance. Therefore, nitrogen doping of activated carbon plays a positive and effective role in energy-storage devices.
