Abstract. Nitrogen-doped microporous carbons (N-MCs) were prepared by the carbonization of the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)/melamine mixture without chemical activation. The electrochemical performance of the N-MCs was investigated as a function of PVDF/melamine ratio. It was found that, without additional activation, the N-MCs had a high specific surface area (greater than 560 m2/g) beca…
Abstract. Carbon–carbon nanocomposites were prepared by the chemical reduction of strongly oxidized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (O-MWNTs) and acid-treated carbon blacks (A-CBs). To apply the electrode materials, the electrochemical performance of the MWNTs–CBs was examined as a function of the CB content. The chemically converted MWNTs–CBs were formed successfully by physical interac…
