Carbon fiber-paper–supported carbon nanofoams are ideal substrates for electrode architectures due to such inherent attributes as high specific surface area, high electronic conductivity, and a sizetunable pore network through-connected in three dimensions (3D) and co-continuous with the ～20-nm–wide carbon nanofoam network.1 The use of carbon fiber paper as a scaffold that molds the ultraporous carbon nanofoam facilitates scalability in length and width (～ 100 cm~2) as well as thickness (70–500 μm). The innate conductivity of the starting carbon fiber paper, which can range from 20 S cm~(-1) (such as for low density polyacrylonitrile-derived fibers) to 200 S cm~(-1) (for more graphitic fibers at > 0.4 g cm~(-3) fiber density) sets the floor for the conductivity of the nanofoam-filled paper, even though the conductivity of monolithic carbon nanofoam (a pyrolytic form of carbon) is only on the order of 1 S cm~(-1). The ability to x–y–z scale the fiber paper into macroscale dimensions coupled with its high electronic conductivity enable the resulting carbon nanofoam papers to serve as “device-ready” electrode architectures in batteries, electrochemical capacitors, and air cathodes.
