Graphene-Based Multifunctional Hybrid Nanomaterial for Energy Storage
摘要
Graphene has drawn a lot of interest in Energy Storage Devices (ESDs) because of their excellent surface area, thermal and electrical conductivities, high mechanical strength, optical transmittance, biocompatibility, and it forms structures that vary from 0 to 3D. Despite this, the zero band gap of pure graphene constrains its applicability. One has to design its hybrid to utilize it in high-performance flexible and wearable ESDs. Superior electrochemical performances have been achieved by integrating the capabilities of other electrochemical materials, including metal oxides, conducting polymers, metal nanoparticles, and doped heteroatoms with the remarkable properties of graphene. This chapter gives the highlights of the different graphene-based hybrids in ESDs based on an extensive literature survey. Herein, diverse aspects and challenges involved in the real-world uses of graphene-based hybrid for batteries and supercapacitors were reviewed rigorously. It will also serve as a catalyst for the fabrication/designing of graphene hybrids to meet the demand of future generations of ESDs.
