Graphene-Based Electrocatalysts

The utilization of electrochemical conversion and energy storage has become feasible in tackling the growing concerns related to energy and environment. One of the primary challenges in the practical application of these devices is the sluggishness of their reaction kinetics. There should be a heightened focus on examining electrocatalysts that exhibit superior efficiency and enhance kinetics rate. Graphene is one of the most extensively researched electrode materials for electrochemical applications among advanced nanomaterials. The incorporation of graphene with nanomaterials can make it easier to take advantage of the material's inherent features. Particularly, graphene and graphene derivatives have been utilized as templates for the synthesis of numerous noble-metal nanocomposites, which have demonstrated exceptional performance in electrocatalytic applications, such as the sensors, ORR, OER, HER, CO2RR, SCs, and so on. In this chapter, we undertake an examination of the progress made in the development of graphene and its composites-based electrodes for the electrocatalytic field.
