Abstract
Carbon materials have emerged as one of the most promising candidates applicable for energy conversion and storage. However, synthesis of low-dimension carbon materials with the controlled morphologies remains a big challenge. Graphene, because of its single-atom thickness, large aspect ratio, high surface area, and many intriguing physical properties, has proved to be an efficient template for the inspired construction of 2D nanohybrid materials. Hereby, we are presenting graphene or the other low-dimension materials template-directed chemical modification to form various functional nanosheets, which were further converted to low-dimension porous carbon materials under pyrolysis, whose excellent electrochemical performance was also systematically explored and studied.
