Nano-structured carbon materials are key components for building advanced composite electrode materials which demonstrate intriguing properties. This makes carbon materials important electrode materials for energy storage devices, and provide the possibility to design versatile energy-related devices.
Nevertheless, optimization of the distribution of various nano-structured carbon within the electrode matrix is needed and further analysis of the role of carbon species within the electrode matrix is required.
In this Nanoscale paper, Chang Yu, Jieshan Qiu and co-workers at the Dalian University of Technology, China report in detail on the effects of carbon species within the electrode matrix on the electrochemical activity, in terms of pore structure, conductivity, and surface chemistry of carbon materials.
