Research I just did indicated that cooking charcoal to activate it, in a summary, makes the particles smaller (DUH) which increases the surface area related to the particle core. You're correct that it is plain old charcoal

Has the meaning of supercap changed? Back a bit, it meant huge amounts of additional capacitance in a smaller package although at a teeny breakover voltage. Good only for filtering or storage.
