Complex Materials with Stochastic Structural Patterns: Spiky Colloids with Enhanced Charge Storage Capacity.

ABSTRACT: Self-assembled materials with complex nanoscale and mesoscale architecture attract considerable attention in energy and sustainability technologies. Their high performance can be attributed to high surface area, quantum effects, and hierarchical organization. Delineation of these contributions is, however, difficult because complex materials display stochastic structural patterns combining both order and disorder, which is difficult to be consistently reproduced yet being important for materials' functionality. Their compositional variability make systematic studies even harder. Here, a model system of FeSe₂ "hedgehog" particles (HPs) was selected  to gain insight into the mechanisms of charge storage n complex nanostructured materials common for batteries and supercapacitors.
