    Carbonized carbons (CC) derived from cabbage were self-activated via a carbonization process at 500–900 °C in Ar. CC synthesized at 800 °C (CC-800), containing KCl, CaCO<inf>3</inf>, Ca(ClO)<inf>2</inf>, K<inf>2</inf>SO<inf>4</inf>, and Ca<inf>5</inf>(PO<inf>4</inf>)<inf>3</inf>(OH), has the highest specific surface area (S<inf>BET</inf>, 130.04 m<sup>2</sup> g<sup>−1</sup>), a high specific capacitance (64.06 F g<sup>−1</sup>), and an excellent rate capability (65.12 %). After washing the CC-800 powder in either deionized (DI) water (AC-DI) or hydrochloric acid (HCl) followed by DI water (AC-HCl-DI), S<inf>BET</inf> values increased to 919.22 and 1146.51 m<sup>2</sup> g<sup>−1</sup>, respectively. KCl, Ca(ClO)<inf>2</inf>, and K<inf>2</inf>SO<inf>4</inf> are removed from the AC-DI, whereas all compounds are washed from the AC-HCl-DI. Removing these compounds enlarges S<inf>BET</inf> values, specific capacitance (114.47 F g<sup>−1</sup> at 0.5 A g<sup>−1</sup>), and rate capability (68.95 %). A high capacitance retention of 97.56 % after 20,000 cycles was achieved from the AC-HCl-DI electrode with 6 M KOH. 0.6 M NaCl and seawater were applied as green electrolytes with the AC-HCl-DI electrode, resulting in the promising specific capacitance of 116.89 and 102.21 F g<sup>−1</sup> at 0.5 A g<sup>−1</sup>, respectively. Symmetric AC-HCl-DI/seawater/AC-HCl-DI cell gives a high energy density of 2.32 Wh kg<sup>−1</sup> at a large power density of 0.25 kW kg<sup>−1</sup>. The four serial AC-HCl-DI/seawater/AC-HCl-DI coin cells could light an LED over 60 s.
