Carbon materials constitute a large family of diverse structures and textures (carbon fibers, glassy carbons, diamond-like carbons, carbon nanotube, graphene). Applications regarding environmental protection, energy storage and generation, semiconductors, transparent conducting materials, structural materials, biomaterials, chemical sensors, biosensors, catalysis, and photocatalysis, summarize most of the fields in which the presence of carbon materials play an essential role. For these applications, surface chemistry plays a relevant role in the physical and chemical properties of carbon materials. Integration of carbon materials (especially nanocarbons) into other components to design functional or structural materials is a critical issue to transfer the fundamental knowledge into technological applications.
Herein, we will report the surface modification of carbon materials by means of electrografting and electrodeposition [1-4]. The surface and electrochemical properties of these modified surfaces were investigated by combining different techniques. We will present ours recent results on the use of liquid ionic with nanocarbon for energy applications such as actuators and supercapacitors[5-9].
