Carbon dots (CDs) finds applications in the field of optoelectronics, energy conversion, energy storage, etc. In this work, the electrochemical properties of CDs (obtained from a green source, lignite) were established to employ them for supercapacitor application. CDs-modified carbon felt working e...
