Electrode modification by diazonium chemistry : studies on the effect of steric bulk on film thickness, and modified activated carbon cloths for energy storage by Subrata, Arnold

“…Although ACCs have inherently lower porosity and specific surface area than other more commonly preferred carbonaceous materials for EDLCs, they were chosen for the study due to their mechanical stability and flexibility (and hence great potential for use in wearable electronics) while being electrically conductive. In Chapter 4, electrochemically-active anthraquinone (AQ) molecules were attached to predominantly-capacitive ACCs by diazonium chemistry with the aim of increasing the total amount of charge stored and released through faradaic redox reactions. …”
