Popis: Funding Information: Capacitance values reflect to some degree (i) topology of the electrodes, (ii) cleanliness of the system and (iii) how much of the actual structure is probed with the applied electrochemical method. For example, with EIS, only the surface of the electrode is probed with small high frequency perturbing signals, whereas in CV the entire structure of material is examined. Hence, in general EIS reduces the contribution of the pseudofaradaic reactions to the capacitance (see supporting information, Fig. S5). Therefore, capacitances evaluated with EIS are here referred to as true double layer capacitance Cdl. Values are shown in Table 4. where it can be seen that Cdl values are considerably smaller whenThe authors acknowledge Laura Ferrel Pascual for taking the SEM images and Touko Liljeström for fabricating ta-C film.

However, there is no consensus on the associations between the structure and electrochemical performance of these nanomaterials – even for the most basic electrochemical properties. This challenge stems from the fact that typically carbonaceous nanomaterials are obtained from various sources and not characterized properly. Therefore, to solve this deadlock we carry out systematic electrochemical characterization for a set of in-house fabricated as well as physicochemically thoroughly characterized carbon nanomaterials. We will then proceed to establish structure – performance associations for these materials. In addition, we will highlight how sensitive the electrochemical performance of these materials can be to small changes in their structural properties. Further, we emphasize the lack of correlation between electrochemical performance of electrode materials as determined using outer sphere redox (OSR) and inner sphere redox (ISR) probes the latter being highly analyte specific. As a first consistent set of electrochemical data obtained by using well characterized carbonaceous nanomaterials, this work will provide solid basis to expand the use of these materials in more complex electroanalytical as well as other applications.
