CarbonKerne
CarbonKerne refers to a family of carbon-based materials designed to combine a conductive carbon core (kernel) with a porous outer shell. The architecture, sometimes described as a kernel-shell structure, aims to provide efficient electron transport while maintaining high surface area and chemical stability.
CarbonKerne materials are synthesized by methods that create a discrete carbon core surrounded by a porous
Applications span energy storage, catalysis, and filtration. In energy storage, CarbonKerne is explored as an additive
Issues include scalable production, batch-to-batch reproducibility, and cost considerations. Since its emergence in the early 2020s,
