HOT Communication – continuous carbide-derived carbon film

Monolithic porous carbon film has a great potential for integrated supercapacitors due to no polymer binder, reduced macropore volume, and good adhesion between current collector and active material.

It is demonstrated that continuous carbide-derived carbon (CDC) films can be synthesized on various substrates and show high volumetric capacitance.
