Carbon–cement supercapacitors as a scalable bulk energy storage solution by Chanut, Nicolas, Stefaniuk, Damian, Weaver, James C., Zhu, Yunguang, Shao-Horn, Yang, Masic, Admir, Ulm, Franz-Josef

“…Texture analysis reveals that the hydration reactions of cement in the presence of carbon generate a fractal-like electron-conducting carbon network that permeates the load-bearing cement-based matrix. The energy storage capacity of this space-filling carbon black network of the high specific surface area accessible to charge storage is shown to be an intensive quantity, whereas the high-rate capability of the carbon-cement electrodes exhibits self-similarity due to the hydration porosity available for charge transport. …”
