“…Nevertheless, whereas substantial progress has been achieved in the development of VG‐based electrodes for supercapacitors and LIB, the applications of VG for other novel multivalent‐ion battery systems have been rarely reported. In fact, as compared to conventional graphene materials, the potential of VG has not been fully exploited, in particular, in light of recent research progress where VG has been found to exhibit highly active sites for catalysis and sensing [105,106] . Several critical issues emerge in the further development of VG‐based functional materials for electrochemical energy storage technologies:…”

Vertically oriented graphene (VG) nanosheets exhibit unique structural characteristics, such as large accessible surface area, rich edges, high electrical conductivity, open network channels, and agglomeration resistance, for electrochemical energy‐storage applications (e. g., supercapacitors, lithium‐ion batteries, etc.). In this Review article, we summarize recent progress in the design and engineering of VG‐based electrodes for high‐performance electrochemical energy technologies within the context of energy‐storage mechanisms and charge‐transfer kinetics, and include a perspective to highlight the challenges and promises in the exploitation of vertically oriented two‐dimensional carbon nanostructures for further enhancement of the performance of electrochemical energy‐storage devices.

“…Working at much shorter wavelengths, Xu et al 76 produced bi-functional photocatalysts capable of absorbing both the IR and UV-VIS components of solar energy. The hybrid structure consisted of vertically stacked IR-absorbing graphene ''nano-petals'' supported by UV-VIS absorbing graphitic carbon nitride.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5] To date, several approaches have been adopted to fabricate graphene, including mechanical exfoliation, 1 chemical exfoliation, 6 chemical synthesis, 7,8 epitaxial growth, 9 and chemical vapor deposition (CVD). [10][11][12] In particular, plasmaenhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) has emerged as a promising new route to fabricate graphene with unique properties in a controllable, low-temperature, highly-efficient, and catalystfree manner for various applications such as supercapacitors, 11,13 photocatalysis, 14 transistors, 15 sensors, 16,17 and solar vapor generation. 18,19 During PECVD growth, factors such as plasma power, pressure, precursor composition, growth time, and substrate type can significantly affect the properties of graphene (e.g., morphology and quality) and its performance in practical applications.…”
