A research paper, with the title of Advanced carbon nano-materials for state-of-the-art flexible supercapacitors, was published by Energy Storage Materials, an authoritative peer-reviewed journal. Due to their unique geometric characteristics and electronic structure, carbon nanomaterials exhibit excellent physical/chemical properties, such as electron migration rate, specific surface area and mechanical properties. They have found wide applications in the fields of electronic information, smart wear and green energy.
As an energy storage device with the advantages of efficient charge and discharge, long cycle life, safety and stability, supercapacitors have become a research hotspot in recent years. Flexibility, miniaturization, multi-function and smart integration are some major orientations. On the basis of the research progress of carbon nanotubes, graphene and other carbon materials, this paper analyzes the assembly mechanism of macroscopic materials, including fibers, films, and fluffy bodies. The structure-activity relationship is established between carbon nanostructures and physical/chemical properties.
