We have fabricated carbon I ceramic composite electrodes with high surface area and excellent stability. The ceramic material consists of a silica-based gel that acts as a binder for the carbon particles. The purpose of this paper is to show thefeasibility of these electrodes for application in electrochemical capacitors and lithium ion batteries. The ceramic binder has several advantages over conventional organic polymers in that the properties of the composite such as hydrophobicity, polarityand flexibility can be controlled by chemical modification of the sol-gel precursors.Here, we report on the stability, porosity and conductivity of carbon I ceramic composite electrodes. The electrochemical properties of the electrodes were characterized using voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in inertelectrolytes.
