Abstract
Graphene is a one-atom-thick layer of sp2-bonded carbon atoms, packed into a two-dimensional honeycomb crystal lattice. Due to its superior electrical properties, chemical inertness, ultra-high specific surface area, and almost transparency in visible light region, graphene is particularly suitable for use as electrically conductive media in energy applications. To date, such as transparent conductive films, conductive additives in battery and supercapacitors are the success stories of commercialization based on graphene in electronic or energy industry. Other applications utilizing graphene, like solar cells, lithium-air batteries and hydrogen evolution are under development in the laboratories. In this talk, some promising graphene-based applications in energy field will be introduced. For example, the addition of very little amount of graphene into cathode materials will greatly promote the specific capacity of lithium-ion battery. And, the employment of transparent graphene electrodes can make solar cells flexible and wearable. Moreover, porous graphene architecture is a promising material for use in high performance supercapacitors.
