Abstract
Diamond combines many unique properties, including high stability, strong optical dispersion, excellent mechanical strength, and outstanding thermal conductivity. Its structure, surface groups, and electrical conductivity are also tunable, increasing its functional versatility. These make diamond and its related materials, such as its composites, highly promising for various applications in energy fields. This review summarizes recent advances and key achievements in energy storage and conversion, covering electrochemical energy storage (e.g., batteries and supercapacitors), electrocatalytic energy conversion (e.g., CO2 and nitrogen reduction reactions), and solar energy conversion (e.g., photo-(electro)chemical CO2 and nitrogen reduction reactions, and solar cells). Current challenges and prospects related to the synthesis of diamond materials and the technologies for their energy applications are outlined and discussed.
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.
