Due to various compositions and morphologies, exquisite intrinsic architectures, and renewability, biomass has been used to generate carbon electrodes for supercapacitors.
Graphene‐based nanocomposites are characterized by high mechanical strength, excellent electrical conductivity, and outstanding thermal and chemical stability. Additionally, the combination of versatile functionalization chemistry and simplicity of large‐scale synthesis makes graphene ideal for electrode materials for energy storage devices. To improve the electrochemical performance even further, recent research has focused on the preparation of porous graphene structures, either by creating holes in the graphene sheets or by assembling them into a 3D porous framework. Porous graphene and reduced graphene oxide allow for rapid ion diffusion and display high real surface area. In this review paper, the conventional methods for the preparation of porous graphene are summarized and recent progress in porous graphene‐based nanomaterials for electrochemical energy storage devices is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
