Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The present Special Issue is devoted to new production methods, the investigation of physical and chemical properties, and the applied usage of carbon nanoparticles and nanomaterials. Attention from the research community to this subject continues to increase with time, which is caused by the extraordinary physical and chemical characteristics of nanocarbon and the wide prospects of its applied usage in science and technologies. The content of this Special Issue includes recent advances in technologies of preparations of carbon nanotubes and graphene, elaborating approaches to study characteristics of nanocarbon and developing new methods for its applied usage. Special attention is paid to nanocarbon-doped composites with enhanced electric and thermal conductivity. We hope that the content of the present Special Issue will stimulate the continuous evolution of the field related to the production, investigation and applied usage of nanocarbon.

The urgent need for efficient energy storage devices (supercapacitors and batteries) has attracted ample interest from scientists and researchers in developing materials with excellent electrochemical properties. Electrode material based on carbon, transition metal oxides, and conducting polymers (CPs) has been used. Among these materials, carbon has gained wide attention in Electrochemical double-layer capacitors (EDLC) due to its variable morphology of pores and structural properties as well as its remarkable electrical and mechanical properties. In this context, the present review article summarizes the history of supercapacitors and the basic function of these devices, the type of carbon electrode materials, and the different strategies to improve the performance of these devices. In addition, we present different approaches to studying the charging mechanism of these devices through different electrochemical techniques existing in the literature, since a deeper understanding of the interfacial charge storage mechanisms is also crucial in the elaboration and performance of the electrode material. We make a comparison of the different techniques and present their advantages and challenges. Taking these advances into account, we consider that the coupling between two methods/techniques provides a better understanding of the charge storage mechanisms in energy storage devices.
