Abstract: Discarded sports waste faces bottlenecks in application due to inadequate disposal measures, and there is often a neglect of enhancing resource utilization efficiency and minimizing environmental impact. In this study, nanoporous biochar was prepared through co-hydrothermal carbonization (co-HTC) and pyrolytic activation by using mixed goose feathers and heavy-metals-contaminated pine sawdust. Comprehensive characterization demonstrated that the prepared M-3-25 (Biochar derived from mixed feedstocks (25 mg/g Cu in pine sawdust) at 700 °C with activator ratios of 3) possesses a high specific surface area 2501.08 m2 g−1 and abundant heteroatomic (N, O, and Cu), exhibiting an outstanding physicochemical structure and ultrahigh electrochemical performance. Compared to nanocarbon from a single feedstock, M-3-25 showed an ultrahigh capacitance of 587.14 F g−1 at 1 A g−1, high energy density of 42.16 Wh kg−1, and only 8.61% capacitance loss after enduring 10,000 cycles at a current density of 10 A g−1, positioning M-3-25 at the forefront of previously known biomass-derived nanoporous carbon supercapacitors. This research not only introduces a promising countermeasure for the disposal of sports waste but also provides superior biochar electrode materials with robust supercapacitor characteristics.
