Can nanocarbons improve electrode performance?
Nanocarbons can form efficient three-dimensional conducting networks that improve the performance of electrode materials suffering from the limited kinetics of lithium storage.
Can nanocarbons be used to produce solar fuel?
Although the overall performance is still unsatisfactory (about 8–10 mmol H 2 /h in H 2 SO 4 aqueous solution using a 300-W Xe lamp as the light source with a 420-nm cutoff filter), the example shows the potential of using advanced hybrid nanoarchitectures based on nanocarbons to produce solar fuel ( Fig. 9.3 ).
What are nanocarbons used for?
Nanocarbons can act as electron donors, i.e., photosensitizers (carbon quantum dots) or may be used to mediate charge transport between different semiconductor particles, but also to change the intrinsic properties of TiO 2 creating novel hybrid materials , .
Could nanocarbon be added to a cathode to improve power density?
Nanocarbon could be added to the cathode to improve the power density . Nanocarbon facilitates the conduction of charged species in cathode materials and disperses the accumulation of the negative charge that may otherwise impede Li-ion diffusion within the cathodes.
