There are other promising ways to exploit the properties of graphene for battery applications. One of them consists in using graphene as a coating material to enable the direct use of Li-metal anodes.
We present a review of the current literature concerning the electrochemical application of graphene in energy storage/generation devices, starting with its use as a super-capacitor through to applications in batteries and fuel cells, depicting graphene's utilisation in this technologically important field.
It is likely, however, that, in the medium term, graphene will be used as an additive or coating material for electrodes in Li-ion and other battery applications to improve the stability, capacity at fast discharge rate and other electrochemical properties. Eda, G. & Chhowalla, M. Adv. Mater. 22, 2392–2415 (2010).
As for energy storage, a series of graphene-based smart batteries and SCs with special features, such as deformability, wearability, stimuli response, self-healing, integration, and miniaturization, have been fabricated.
In addition, as graphene electrodes can be stimuli responsive and sensitive to a range of stimuli, such as an electrical field, mechanical strain, pH value, temperature, and gas/bio-molecules, 135 graphene-based materials should make a significant contribution to the development of smart batteries.
Miscellaneous energy storage devices (solar power) Of further interest and significant importance in the development of clean and renewable energy is the application of graphene in solar power based devices, where photoelectrochemical solar energy conversion plays an important role in generating electrical energy , .
