STORAGE MATERIALS: Flexible Nano‐felts of Carbide‐Derived Carbon with Ultra‐high Power Handling Capability (Adv. Energy Mater. 3/2011)

Electrospun TiC nano-felt with fiber diameters of ≈ 130 nm can be conformally transformed into carbide-derived carbon (CDC) after heat treatment in chlorine, report Hao Fong, Yuri Gogotsi and co-workers. The TiC-CDC nano-felts have been studied as flexible and binder-free electrodes for supercapacitors, and the results have demonstrated a high gravimetric capacitance and a superior power handling capability compared to conventional activated carbon electrodes. on p. 423
