Results and Discussion Mechanochemical synthesis of the polymeric precursor For a typical synthesis, ethylene glycol (EG), citric acid (CA), and

• advance this mechanochemical process to an even more sustainable synthesis. Application as supercapacitor electrodes We selected Carb-SF-3 as electrode material in a symmetrical supercapacitor because of its high specific surface area and pore volume (Table 1). The electrochemical characterization was
