▎ 摘　　要

Vertically oriented graphene (VG) nanosheets exhibit unique structural characteristics, such as large accessible surface area, rich edges, high electrical conductivity, open network channels, and agglomeration resistance, for electrochemical energy-storage applications (e. g., supercapacitors, lithium-ion batteries, etc.). In this Review article, we summarize recent progress in the design and engineering of VG-based electrodes for high-performance electrochemical energy technologies within the context of energy-storage mechanisms and charge-transfer kinetics, and include a perspective to highlight the challenges and promises in the exploitation of vertically oriented two-dimensional carbon nanostructures for further enhancement of the performance of electrochemical energy-storage devices.
