"Protonic acid catalysis to generate fast electronic transport channels" by Lei Wang, Xiaolong Li et al.
Abstract Oxygen (O) functionalized carbon materials can provide high charge storage because of their enrichment in redox-active sites, but they do not display fast charge transfer kinetics, which is caused by the loss of electrical conductivity from the disruption of sp carbon networks. To address this challenge, we develop a novel two-step protonic acid catalysis method that partially re-establishes a π-π conjugated system for engineering fast electronic transport channels in an O-functionalized carbon textile. This method largely maintains the sp carbon network integrity with abundant a...
