Electric energy storage has becoming more and more important in today's society. Moving forward, cost-effective and long service lifetime technologies are critical for large scale electric energy storage. Materials will be determining the total cost of the whole system as we move to megawatts or gigawatts scale. Therefore, abundant materials are desired. Nanostructured carbon has been one basic material in electric energy storage devices. In this talk, we will discuss functionalization of carbon nanostructures and its application for electric storage. The mechanisms behind the improved electrochemical properties will also be discussed.
