AB  - Carbon nanospheres with distinguishable microstructure were prepared by 
      carbonization and subsequent KOH activation of F108/resorcinol-formaldehyde 
      composites. The dosage of triblock copolymer Pluronic F108 is crucial to the 
      microstructure differences. With the adding of F108, the polydisperse carbon 
      nanospheres (PCNS) with microporous structure, monodisperse carbon nanospheres 
      (MCNS) with hierarchical porous structure, and agglomerated carbon nanospheres 
      (ACNS) were obtained. Their microstructure and capacitance properties were 
      carefully compared. As a result of the synergetic effect of mono-dispersion 
      spheres and hierarchical porous structures, the MCNS sample shows improved 
      electrochemical performance, i.e., the highest specific capacitance of 
      224 F g(-1) (0.2 A g(-1)), the best rate capability (73% retention at 
      20 A g(-1)), and the most excellent capacitance retention of 93% over 
      10,000 cycles, making it to be the promising electrode material for 
      high-performance supercapacitors.
