Use of modified carbon whiskers as an electrode in coulometric cells

Electrochemical characteristics of activated carbon nanofiber electrodes for supercapacitors

“…Electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) or supercapacitors are promising high-power energy sources for many different applications where high-power density, high cycle efficiency and long cycle life are needed [3][4][5][6][7][8]. However, because the energy density of EDLCs is small compared to that of rechargeable batteries, it is necessary to increase the capacitance of EDLCs.…”

Adsorption equilibrium and kinetics of CO2, CH4, N2O, and NH3 on ordered mesoporous carbon

“…Park and Jin [40] used an ozone-treated activated carbon to adsorb NH 3 . Ab initio calculation by Widjaja et al [41] predicted Si(1 0 0) as a suitable adsorbent for NH 3 .…”

“…Porous and nano-structured carbon materials are considered to be very promising in numerous applications as adsorbents, catalyst supports, and double-layer capacitors [1][2][3][4] because of their unique pore structures, low cost, light weight, and natural abundance of ingredients to synthesize them [5]. Ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) is a unique porous carbon that was initially synthesized with a hard-template method by Ryoo et al [6].…”

Electrical conductivity of silver nanoparticle doped carbon nanofibres measured by CS-AFM

“…Particularly, carbon nanobres (CNFs) have received much attention due to their broad potential applications in many elds, including sensors and electrical devices, energy conversion and storage, and catalysts or catalyst support materials. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Among several precursors fullling the requirements for producing CNFs, polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is most commonly used, not only because of its high carbon yield compared to other polymers (>50%), but also because of the exible and stable structure of the nal products as well as its low price. [11][12][13] Several methods have been reported for the fabrication of precursor carbon bres including laser ablation, arc-discharge, vapour growth, chemical vapour deposition, pressurised gyration and electrospinning.…”
