In August 2013, the “Eleventh Conference of Carbon Materials” has held in Taiyuan, Shanxi. More than 300 experts and scholars from colleges and universities, research institutes and industrial sectors attended this meeting.

Domestic researchers are still active in the research of traditional carbon materials such as carbon-based composite materials, porous carbon surface adsorption and catalysis. There also have new progress in the research of theory, performance and application. Due to the advantages of light weight, rich control structure, good chemical stability and strong biocompatibility, carbon materials have broad prospects and good basis for preliminary research in energy storage , such as supercapacitor electrodes, lithium-ion battery electrodes, fuel cells, etc.

With the rapid development of the production and performance research of new carbon materials, its superiority and potential applications in energy storage have attracted more and more attention. The successful holding of Carbon Materials Conference provides a platform for carbon materials workers to learn from and communicate with each other, which can greatly improve the academic research level of new carbon materials in China and promote the development of the new carbon materials industry.
