The specific branches of industry utilize needle coke, a carbon form with a highly anisotropic structure. Searching for novel raw materials for its production is now rigorously studied. In the present work, we use low-sulfur gasoil for this purpose,...

The present human population is more than three times what it was in 1950. With that, there is an increasing demand for the consumption of fossil fuels for various anthropogenic activities. This consumption is the major source of carbon dioxide emiss...

Non-covalent modification of graphene is one of the strategies used for enhancing its energy storage properties. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of a series of fullerene derivatives that are capable of assembly on graphene sheets by π&n...

Metal-carbon composites have recently gained attention as potential hydrogen storage materials. In the present investigation, carbon blacks (CBs) with 0.6 mass %, 4.9 mass %, and 9.3 mass % of Pd were prepared to investigate the cooperative effect to...

Utilization of biopolymers to form graphitic carbons is challenged by their high oxygen content and resulting curved and defective carbon lamellae upon high-temperature heat-treatment. Two composites, one with graphene-oxide (GO) and the other with r...

Graphene-like materials have attracted significant attention as alternative catalyst carriers due to the broad possibilities of changing their shape, composition, and properties. In this study we investigated the structural and electrochemical charac...

Compositing all-carbon materials with distinct dimensions and structures has demonstrated the great potential to bring synergistic promotion to individual components for the electrocatalytic activity of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Fullerene-deri...

Electrode materials for electrochemical capacitors or supercapacitors (SCs) are widely studied, as they are needed for the development of energy storage devices in electrical vehicles and flexible electronics. In the current work, a self-supported pa...

Rigorous peer-reviews are the basis of high-quality academic publishing [...]

We report the intercalation of iodine chains in highly crystalline arc-discharge multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), not in the central cavity but instead between the concentric graphene shells. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy dem...
