TL;DR: In this paper, a double-layer templated graphene (DTG) structure was used as the electrode material for supercapacitors, achieving a specific capacitance of 65.5 F g−1 at a sweep rate of 5.0 mV s−1 and a capacitance retention of 77% when the sweep rate was increased to 500 mV S−1.

TL;DR: In this article, Ni nanoparticles derived from layered double hydroxide (LDH) precursors were used to grow herringbone carbon nanofibers (CNFs).

TL;DR: A high-yield synthesis of highly crystalline bilayer graphene (BLG) with two preferential stacking modes using a Ni-Cu gradient alloy growth substrate that combines the advantages of these earlier methods: the substrate is flat, so easy to scale, while growth proceeds by a carbon back-diffusion mechanism leading to high-Yield growth of BLG with high crystallinity.

TL;DR: In a transmission electron microscope, in situ high precision writing and drawing were achieved on graphene nanosheets by manipulating electrons with a 1 nm probe (probe current ~2 × 10(-9) A m(-2)) in scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) mode.

TL;DR: A novel method of activating the MoS2 surface using swift heavy ion irradiation, which results in a decreased onset potential for hydrogen evolution, as well as in a significant enhancement of the electrochemical current density by over 160% as compared to an identical but non-irradiated MoS 2 surface.
