TL;DR: In this article, the physical, transport and electrochemical behaviors of the electrodes made from composites containing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are discussed, and the challenges that remain in using CNTs and CNT-based composites as well as the prospects for exploiting them in the future are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a mesoporous, hierarchical core-shell structure and a large surface area were hydrothermally grown on 3D nickel foam, and the supercapacitor electrodes prepared from the unique structure exhibits exceptional specific capacitances of 2339 and 1526 F g−1 at current densities of 1 and 10 F g −1, respectively, and longterm capacity retention of ~95.9% after 3000 cycles at 2

TL;DR: In this paper, hierarchical mesoporous CuCo2O4 nanograsses have been synthesized on copper foam using a simple and cost-effective hydrothermal approach followed by a post-annealing treatment.

TL;DR: In this article, the state-of-the-art fabrication methods of nanosilicon, including ball milling, chemical vapor deposition, metal-assisted chemical etching and magnesiothermic reduction, as well as the design principles and the selection criteria for fabricating high performance Si nanostructures are discussed.

TL;DR: D density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest that the synthesis strategy for controllable tuning of hollow CoNi-LDH arrays reported here represents a critical step toward high performance electrodes for energy storage and electrochemical catalysis.
