Abstract: Grounded in the principles of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) and aligned with graduation requirements and course objectives, we designed a comprehensive experiment titled “Preparation of Porous Carbon Materials Derived from MOF and Their Capacitance Performance”. This experiment involves the synthesis of Zn-MOF-5 using a direct addition method under atmospheric pressure, followed by the preparation of layered porous carbon materials through processes such as carbonization and acid washing, which were then characterized. Finally, we investigated the electrochemical properties of these materials. Through this comprehensive experiment, students not only gain insights into the cutting-edge field of supercapacitors but also enhance their skills in material synthesis and characterization, instrument operation, and data analysis. This experience fosters their ability to integrate knowledge across disciplines, solve complex problems, stimulate innovative thinking, and develop teamwork and communication skills. Ultimately, this supports students in meeting the graduation requirements of advanced engineering education.
