Electrochemical Properties of Nanocarbon

Carbon materials are essential for a wide variety of electrochemical utilisations due to the fact that their electron-transfer and charge-storage capabilities may be tuned. In order to rationally build various high-performance electrochemical devices, it is essential to engage in careful structural manipulation of carbon in order to control its chemical, electrical, and crystalline properties. This study focuses on three different forms of carbon nanomaterials that have recently gained interest in the field of electrochemistry. These are carbon nanofibres, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and graphene. The focus of this chapter is on the ways in which the structural differences among these carbon nanomaterials influence the electrochemical activities they exhibit. In this Chapter, after providing a brief summary of the recent developments in the fields of Nano carbon and nanofibres, Nano carbon and composites for energy applications, and the future perspectives of Nano carbon electrochemistry, this study will move on to discuss these topics in more depth. Focus is placed on delineating the ways in which the electrical structure of carbon affects the electrochemical activity of the element. Notice some of the modification approaches applicable to over one utilization area through the examination of various electrochemical devices; as a result, structural manipulation approaches utilized in one class of electrochemical devices can be extended to other types of electrochemical devices.
