ABSTRACT
One active area in nanocarbon science is the development of new
materials for energy application. This includes high-performance
materials with specific characteristics, such as electrode materials
for Li-ion batteries (LIBs), supercapacitors, fuel cells, and hydro-
gen storage. Although significant achievement has been obtained
in electrochemical energy storage using conventional materials,
nanostructured materials are indicated to have more potential to
be explored for advanced energy conversion and storage devices,
for instance, the development of next-generation energy storage
devices with a high power density and high energy density for elec-
tric and hybrid electric vehicles [1, 2].
