levels of porosity between the large micron size particles and it’s ~1nm micropores.
This hierarchical structure allowed for the electrolyte to access the carbon mate-
rial quickly, analogous to cars initially traveling on large highways, then smaller
streets, and nally adsorbing in the smallest pores, like a car parking in a drive-
way. Figure24.6b and c shows SEM micrographs of the native polyester microber
(b)and cotton lawn (c) fabrics, where this hierarchical spacing can be observed.
Itcan be seen from Figure 24.6d and e that the activated carbon is well coated
around individual polyester and cotton bers.
