This book is a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in
the field of graphene-based electrochemical energy storage
devices. Graphene is considered one of the most promising materials
for developing high-performance electrochemical energy storage devices
due to its large surface area, high electrical conductivity, and
superior mechanical strength. This book highlights its fundamental
properties, synthesis methods, and various electrochemical energy
storage applications such as in supercapacitors, batteries, and fuel
cells. The first chapter introduces the electronic, mechanical, and
thermal properties of graphene and discusses various synthesis methods
such as mechanical exfoliation, chemical vapor deposition, and
epitaxial growth. Additionally, it describes the functionalization of
graphene to enhance its characteristics for electrochemical energy
storage applications. The second chapter focuses on the application of
graphene in supercapacitors, energy storage devices that require high
power density. It details different types of supercapacitors such as
electrochemical capacitors, pseudo capacitors, and hybrid capacitors
and discusses how graphene can enhance their performance. The third
chapter covers the use of graphene in batteries, describing how
graphene-based anodes and cathodes improve energy density, cycling
stability, rate capability across various battery types including
lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and zinc-ion batteries. The final chapter is
dedicated to the use of graphene in fuel cells, electrochemical
devices that transform chemical energy into electrical power, and
describes how graphene-based materials can be utilized as catalysts or
supports within fuel cells for improved performance and durability.
Various types of fuel cells such as proton exchange membrane fuel
cells, direct methanol fuel cells, and solid oxide fuel cells are
examined. The book concludes by highlighting the future prospects and
challenges in graphene-based electrochemical energy storage
applications. Written in a succinct and clear manner, this book serves
as a modern reference on the topic and is a valuable resource for
researchers, scientists, and engineers working in the area of energy
storage.
