4. Nanostructuring of the activated carbon/electrolyte interface

For many years, the criterion for choosing carbonaceous materials was based solely on the search for the highest possible specific surface areas, leading to stagnation in terms of specific capacities. Awareness of the importance of the way in which this specific surface area is created rapidly changed the situation and directed research towards mastering this interface in terms of pore size control.

Indeed, one of the major issues in the race to develop new high-performance carbon materials soon turned out to be the following: what is the optimum pore size to develop in the volume of activated carbon grains to optimize charge storage at the carbon/electrolyte interface? In other words, how can we optimize charge storage capacity by controlling the carbon/electrolyte interface?

The pores responsible...
