Binder-free supercapacitor electrodes: Optimization of monolithic graphitized carbons by reflux acid treatment

“…The resulting graphitic materials show similar morphology to the starting precursor, but with progressive enhancements in crystallinity [24] and electronic conductivities [25] with increasing heat-treatment temperature. In contrast, the Young's modulus increases up to 1150 ºC, and abruptly decreases between 1150 and 1300 °C [26]. At higher treatment temperatures, the formation of graphitic areas within the amorphous matrix causes larger Young's modulus values.…”
