Driven self-assembly. A dissipative self-assembly process leading to energy storage in a high-energy aggregate, as a consequence of kinetic asymmetry in energy consumption. Consumed energy. The energy associated to the conversion of fuel to waste (which, at fixed [F] and [W], corresponds to an associated ΔG< 0 for the reaction).
Electrochemical energy storage is a promising technology for the integration of renewable energy. Lead-acid battery is perhaps among the most successful commercialized systems ever since thanks to its excellent cost-effectiveness and safety records.
Moreover, to maximize energy storage, the kinetics of the equilibrium steps must be slower than the catalytic conversion of fuel, because otherwise the self-assembling steps will rapidly re-equilibrate during fuel-to-waste conversion, in which case all consumed energy is just dissipated without leading to energy storage.
The essence of energy storage is, in fact, charge storage in the form of ions in the electrode material. In supercapacitors (also called electrochemical capacitors), the energy is stored as adsorbed ionic species at the interface between the porous carbon electrode and the electrolyte (Fig. 1b).
Designing ingenious and stable carbon nanostructures is critical but still challenging for use in energy storage devices with superior electrochemistry kinetics, durable capacitive activity, and high rate survivability.
The assembly technology usually takes advantage of the characteristics of the initial structural unit, or modified functional groups on the surface of the initial structural unit, forming the hierarchical structure with a certain order based on certain rules.
