Description

The development of clean and renewable alternative energy sources is essential due to the rising energy consumption. Advancements in energy conversion and storage technologies, such as fuel cells, batteries, and solar cells, are currently the subject of active research. The unique structure and properties of two-dimensional graphene materials are explored in developing energy devices. The efficient utilization of graphene's enormous specific surface area and exceptional electrical, chemical, and mechanical properties still remains a challenge to researchers due to the agglomeration of its layers. The introduction of metal oxides into these 2D layers helps to enhance their structural and electrochemical stability, which helps in the production of energy storage devices. This chapter discusses the synthesis protocols, tunable properties, as a function of size and shape, and characterization tools. It also provides a deeper understanding of graphene-metal oxide composites in various energy storage devices, highlighting the importance of the synergistic effects between graphene and metal oxides. The chapter concludes with the prospects and potential of graphene-metal oxide composites for energy storage applications. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2025.
