Zeolite-templated carbon as electrodes for electrochemical energy storage

Abstract

This work presents the use of zeolite-tern plated carbon (ZTC), which is a microporous carbon obtained from the chemical vapor deposition of carbon source gas over zeolite Y template, as an electrode for the electrochemical capacitors (ECs). Two different structures of ZTC, fullerene-like and buckybowl-like, were examined to realize a high-performance electrode for ECs.
