“…[1][2][3] A lot of work is currently being done to develop various nanomaterials that can store a large amount of energy and improve the cycle life. The advanced materials for super-capacitors, among many others that have been subject of considerable investigation, include carbon-based nanomaterials and transition metal-based materials, such as oxides, [4] sulfides, [5] selenides, [6] phosphides, [7] hydroxides, [8] carbides, [9] phosphates, [10] etc. Transition metal-based materials, in particular, have drawn increased attention owing to their advantageous properties in unique electrochemical activity and electrical conductivity.…”
