Description
Graphene, consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms organized in a hexagonal pattern, exhibits exceptional electrical, mechanical, and thermal characteristics. The combined effects arising from the synergy of graphene with other materials assume a pivotal role in enhancing the overall performance of energy devices. The initial section of this chapter focuses on the utilization of graphene composites in energy conversion technologies, spanning solar cells, water-splitting devices, and fuel cells. Subsequently, this chapter explores the application of graphene composites in energy storage systems such as lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors. Graphene provides a significant surface area, facilitates rapid electron transport, and offers mechanical stability, all positively impacting the energy storage capacity and cyclic stability of these devices. Furthermore, the chapter discusses the current research trends, challenges, and future prospects concerning graphene composites for energy conversion and storage applications. 2025 Elsevier Inc.
