Hierarchially Porous Carbon Particles for Electrochemical Applications
- Detailed Technology Description
- Professor Yunfeng Lu and colleagues have developed a new electrode architecture which enables much higher energy densities. By creating a network of many different sizes of pores, the surface area is ~2500 m2/g, compared to activated carbon’s ~2000 m2/g. Moreover, this arrangement increases the ion transport rate, allowing for high power density, and the graphitized carbon allows for excellent electrical conduction, further allowing for rapid discharging. Relevant electrochemical applications suited to this technology include supercapacitors, advanced water-splitting devices, and advanced battery electrodes.
