The novel phenolic resins have been synthesized using 2,2'-biphenol (BPh) and porous carbon materials have been prepared by soft template methods under basic condition. The porosity could be controlled by varying the ratios of BPh and surfactant during the polymerization reactions and also by the pyrolysis temperatures. Prepared carbons were further activated under ammonia atmosphere and the surface area and specific capacitance in aqueous solution were increased up to 1778 m2 g-1 and 237 F g-1, respectively.
