Uniaxially oriented carbon monoliths as supercapacitor electrodes

a b s t r a c t Cylindrical carbon monoliths of 7mmin diameter and certain heights (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5mm) are studied as model electrodes for supercapacitors. The monoliths show a narrow microporous structure with average micropore size of 0.73nmand specific surface area of 1086m2 g−1. The monoliths show straight walls and channels, both arranged along the cylinder axis. The former account …
