Recent Advances in Porous Carbon Materials for Electrochemical Energy Storage

Abstract

Climate change and the energy crisis have promoted the rapid development of electrochemical energy-storage devices. Owing to many intriguing physicochemical properties, such as excellent chemical stability, high electronic conductivity, and a large specific surface area, porous carbon materials have always been considering as a promising candidate for electrochemical energy storage. To date, a wide variety of porous carbon materials based upon molecular design, pore control, and compositional tailoring have been proposed for energy-storage applications. This focus review summarizes recent advances in the synthesis of various porous carbon materials from the view of energy storage, particularly in the past three years. Their applications in representative electrochemical energy-storage devices, such as lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, and lithium-ion hybrid capacitors, are discussed in this review, with a look forward to offer some inspiration and guidelines for the exploitation of advanced carbon-based energy-storage materials.

Hierarchical Porous Activated Carbon Obtained by a Novel Heating‐Rate‐Induced Method for Lithium‐Ion Capacitor

“…In contrast, secondary batteries can deliver high energy density, but their power densities are relatively poor . From the viewpoint of future application, developing advanced energy storage system is urgently needed that deliver both higher energy density and power density . Recently, hybrid lithium‐ion capacitors (LICs) have emerged, which combines the merits of the two systems.…”

[12] Recently, hybrid lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) have emerged, which combines the merits of the two systems. LICs are constructed from a capacitor-type electrode and a lithium ion battery-type electrode.…”

Carbonization of Carboxylate‐Functionalized Polymers of Intrinsic Microporosity for Water Treatment

“…In the present work, the carbonization behavior of carboxylate-functionalized PIMs was scrutinized using TGA-MS, cross-polarization-magic angle spinning (CP-MAS) 13 C NMR, EA, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Raman, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). For prepared four distinct types of sub-nanosized membranes with different oxygen-to-carbon ratios, the nanofiltration (NF) performance of the resulting membranes was tested.…”

High Capacitive Energy Storage of Nest‐Like Porous Graphene Microspheres Electrode with High Mass Loading

“…Generally, powders and films were chosen as templates to produce graphene by the CVD method . The use of templates is an easy way to create porous structures with different morphologies . Previous contributions have demonstrated that few‐layered graphene films can be generated by using 2 D copper, nickel, or silica foils.…”
