Chemistry Chemistry, Physical Energy & Fuels Materials Science Materials Science, Multidisciplinary Physical Sciences Science & Technology Technology
Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) anions can be cross-linked by a dielectrophile to form covalent, carbon-bonded organogels. Freeze-drying produces cryogels with low density (2.3 mg cm(-3)), high surface area (766 m(2) g(-1)), and high conductivity (9.4 S m(-1)), showing promise as supercapacitor electrodes. Counterion concentration controls debundling, grafting ratio, as well as all the resulting properties.
