Abstract

The study systematically evaluates various forms of carbon, including ACs, graphene, CNTs, CA, xerogels, template-derived carbons, heteroatom-doped carbons, and waste-derived carbons, highlighting their critical roles in improving the functionality of supercapacitors. ACs are explored for their high surface areas and porosity, detailing their production methods and impacts on enhancing electrochemical performance. The review further highlights graphene for its outstanding electrical conductivity and mechanical strength, discussing its synthesis techniques and contributions towards boosting the energy and power densities. Additionally, the work categorizes CNTs into SWCNTs and MWCNTs types, analyzing their synthesis methods and their influence on the conductivity and mechanical strength. Carbon aerogels and xerogels are examined for their production processes and key characteristics that translate into superior performance metrics within supercapacitors. Template-derived carbons are investigated through various templating methods, including hard, soft, and self-templating, assessing the resultant structural distinctions and performance improvements. The role of heteroatom doping in enhancing the electrochemical properties of carbons is also thoroughly discussed. Finally, the review concludes with an analysis of waste-derived carbons, utilizing various biomass precursors and conversion methods to highlight the environmental and cost benefits of these materials, alongside their performance in supercapacitor applications.

期刊介绍： Progress in Materials Science is a journal that publishes authoritative and critical reviews of recent advances in the science of materials. The focus of the journal is on the fundamental aspects of materials science, particularly those concerning microstructure and nanostructure and their relationship to properties. Emphasis is also placed on the thermodynamics, kinetics, mechanisms, and modeling of processes within materials, as well as the understanding of material properties in engineering and other applications. The journal welcomes reviews from authors who are active leaders in the field of materials science and have a strong scientific track record. Materials of interest include metallic, ceramic, polymeric, biological, medical, and composite materials in all forms. Manuscripts submitted to Progress in Materials Science are generally longer than those found in other research journals. While the focus is on invited reviews, interested authors may submit a proposal for consideration. Non-invited manuscripts are required to be preceded by the submission of a proposal. Authors publishing in Progress in Materials Science have the option to publish their research via subscription or open access. Open access publication requires the author or research funder to meet a publication fee (APC). Abstracting and indexing services for Progress in Materials Science include Current Contents, Science Citation Index Expanded, Materials Science Citation Index, Chemical Abstracts, Engineering Index, INSPEC, and Scopus.
