YRA – Nanoengineered by Nature: Energy Storage Materials from Self-Assembled Cellulose Nanocrystals
Supercapacitors employing electrochemical double layer capacitance (EDLC) for charge storage require electrode materials with high specific surface areas and narrow, nanoscale pore size distributions.[1,2] Activated carbons, which are cost-effective to produce and have the necessary surface area and pore geometries, are often used for this purpose.[2] Abundant biopolymers such as cellulose are interesting sources for […]
