Abstract

Carbon materials are a key component in energy storage and conversion devices and their microstructure plays a crucial role in determining device performance. However, traditional carbon materials are unable to meet the requirements for applications in emerging fields such as renewable energy and electric vehicles due to limitations including a disordered structure and uncontrolled defects. With an aim of realizing devisable structures, adjustable functions, and performance breakthroughs, superstructured carbons is proposed and represent a category of carbon-based materials, characterized by precisely-built pores, networks, and interfaces. Superstructured carbons can overcome the limitations of traditional carbon materials and improve the performance of energy storage and conversion devices. We review the structure-activity relationships of superstructured carbons and recent research advances from three aspects including a precisely customized pore structure, a dense carbon network framework, and a multi-component highly coupled interface between the different components. Finally, we provide an outlook on the future development of and practical challenges in energy storage and conversion devices.

期刊介绍： New Carbon Materials is a scholarly journal that publishes original research papers focusing on the physics, chemistry, and technology of organic substances that serve as precursors for creating carbonaceous solids with aromatic or tetrahedral bonding. The scope of materials covered by the journal extends from diamond and graphite to a variety of forms including chars, semicokes, mesophase substances, carbons, carbon fibers, carbynes, fullerenes, and carbon nanotubes. The journal's objective is to showcase the latest research findings and advancements in the areas of formation, structure, properties, behaviors, and technological applications of carbon materials. Additionally, the journal includes papers on the secondary production of new carbon and composite materials, such as carbon-carbon composites, derived from the aforementioned carbons. Research papers on organic substances will be considered for publication only if they have a direct relevance to the resulting carbon materials.
