A Novel Approach Towards Carbon–Ru Electrodes with Mesoporosity for Supercapacitors

Fabrication of cobalt and cobalt oxide/graphene composites: towards high-performance anode materials for lithium ion batteries.

From Well-Defined Carbon-Rich Precursors to Monodisperse Carbon Particles with Hierarchic Structures

The creation of nanoscale particles with well-defined structures has long been considered as a promising approach to generate materials with novel properties. Carbonaceous nanoparticles (CNPs) with defined architectures, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), C60, carbon onions, carbon spheres, and carbon rods are particularly attractive owing to their unique electronic properties and many potential applications. At the same time, when these CNPs are regularly organized, additional functions appear. Such materials are believed to have hierarchic structures, in which the organization of the CNPs forms the first-order structure (FOS) and the configuration of the single CNP forms the secondor higher…
