Electrochemistry of Carbon Materials: Progress in Raman Spectroscopy, Optical Absorption Spectroscopy, and Applications

Abstract

This paper is dedicated to the discussion of applications of carbon material in electrochemistry. The paper starts with a general discussion on electrochemical doping. Then, investigations by spectroelectrochemistry are discussed. The Raman spectroscopy experiments in different electrolyte solutions are considered. This includes aqueous solutions and acetonitrile and ionic fluids. The investigation of carbon nanotubes on different substrates is considered. The optical absorption experiments in different electrolyte solutions and substrate materials are discussed. The chemical functionalization of carbon nanotubes is considered. Finally, the application of carbon materials and chemically functionalized carbon nanotubes in batteries, supercapacitors, sensors, and nanoelectronic devices is presented.

Carbon Nanowalls as Anode Materials with Improved Performance Using Carbon Nanofibers

“…Figure 4 shows the results of Raman analysis of carbon anode materials using three materials. In Figure 4a, D, G, and 2D bands appearing in the carbon series were observed [21][22][23][24]. Among the three anode materials, CNWs showed a relatively high G peak, which is commonly seen in carbon-based materials, and was confirmed at 1580 cm −1 .…”

Photoemission Insight to Filling of Large 1.7 nm Diameter Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes with Silver Chloride

“…There are two methods for investigating the electronic properties of filled carbon nanotubes: X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman spectroscopy. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is a viable tool for the characterization of carbon nanotubes [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. It is a non-destructive, useful method to reveal the Fermi level shift in filled SWCNTs.…”
