A review on novel activation strategy on carbonaceous materials with special morphology/texture for electrochemical storage

Various novel carbonaceous materials including carbon nanotubes, nano-onions, microspheres, graphene nanosheets, and microfibers with unique properties, such as tunable surface area pore size, high chemical stability, cost-effective facile preparation, have attracted enormous interest for many applications. Also essential, the activation processes play a critical role to achieve these valuable properties. In this review, we provide thorough analysis of emerging nano- microscopic species special morphology/textures currently available types agents, strategy enhance electrochemical performance activated material in electrical energy storage devices supercapacitor alkaline ions batteries. A particular emphasis is set on recent advance supercapacitors sodium ion
