“…Currently, the attention is focused on the application of catalytically graphitized carbons in different advanced fields such as electrodes for supercapacitors, 4−6 anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, 7 and others 8,9 owing to their outstanding properties, including enhanced crystallinity 10 and electronic conductivity. 11 Among the different catalysts employed, IV−VIII transition metals and especially Fe, Co, and Ni have stood out for their good graphitization efficiency. In this regard, of particular interest are previous studies from Maldonado-Hodar et al, 12 Yan et al, 13 Thambiliyagodage et al, 14 and Sevilla et al 15−17 evaluating the graphitization effectiveness of different transition metals with the same concentration on a certain carbon precursor.…”
