Ordered mesoporous structure by graphitized carbon nanowall assembly

Assembly of graphitized carbon nanowalls containing crystallites with the ideal interlayer distance was formed as a Voronoi cell structure of close-packed template nanoparticles. The assembly showed faster Li-ion intercalation and deintercalation than conventional graphite, a superhydrophobicity, which was retained even after thermal oxidation, and a high stability under electrochemical oxidative conditions.
