Abstract 3D interconnected graphene nanocapsules (GNCs) were prepared from diverse
aromatic hydrocarbons by a nano-ZnO-template strategy coupled with in-situ KOH activation …

Carbonaceous materials derived from non-renewable and non-sustainable graphite and
fossil fuels have been widely used in building supercapacitor and battery electrodes but the …

The conversion of low-cost renewable lignin could enable the economic fabrication of
carbon materials for energy storage devices. However, the traditional activation methods for …

Capacitive deionization (CDI) is a promising technique for desalination of brackish water
because it is highly energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. However, one of the most …

A facile encapsulation of NiO nanoparticles in mesoporous carbon nanospheres
(NiO/MCNs) is demonstrated. Silicate-ion groups on nanosilica surface can react with Ni 2+ …

With the rapid development of energy storage technologies, especially for practical
application, it is of paramount importance to consider the cost, environmental friendliness …

We demonstrate a highly efficient strategy to synthesize N, S-codoped ultramicroporous
carbon nanoparticles (N/S-UCNs) via simple polymerization and carbonization of an ionic …
