Nanocast Carbon Microsphere Flowers from a Lanthanum-Based Template

Brown, Alexander T.; Thomas, Milana C.; Chabal, Yves J.; Balkus, Kenneth J. (Elsevier Science B.V., 2018-09-11)

Hollow carbon microsphere flowers were nanocast from glucose, acrylamide, and acetylene sources. Carbon growth was catalyzed by a lanthanum graft copolymer template using wet acetylene. The resulting spherical shape is ...

Novel Binder-Free Electrode Materials for Supercapacitors Utilizing High Surface Area Carbon Nanofibers Derived from Immiscible Polymer Blends of PBI/6FDA-DAM:DABA

Abeykoon, Nimali C.; Garcia, Velia; Jayawickramage, Rangana A.; Perera, Wijayantha; Cure, Jeremy; Chabal, Yves J.; Balkus, Kenneth J.; Ferraris, John P. (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-06-01)

Carbon nanofibers with high surface area have become promising electrode materials for supercapacitors because of their importance in increasing energy density. In this study, a high free volume polymer, 6FDA-DAM:DABA ...
