Synthesis and applications of Ag@C composites: Progress and opportunity

Abstract

Developing classes of Ag@C composites stand out for their one of a kind structure and novel physicochemical properties in later a long time. This review explores the current state-of-the-art progress in the preparation methods and the novel properties of Ag@C composites. We provide a definition of the stability of Ag@C composites, and propose strategies to improve the stability. Based on the later inquire, a summary and outlook toward the synthesis and applications of Ag@C composites are presented, aiming to accelerate the exploration of Ag@C composites and further stimulate the applications in various fields.
