Surface modification of soft-templated ordered mesoporous carbon for electrochemical supercapacitors Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The increasing demand for energy has triggered numerous research efforts for the development of electricity storage devices consisting of templated nanoporous carbons. In this study, ordered mesoporous carbon with a modest specific surface area (520 m(2)/g) was prepared by a soft-templating method and surface-modified by a wet oxidation using nitric acid and ammonium peroxodisulfate. More oxygen-containing functional groups were introduced on ...
