DOI: 10.1039/C3EE23870A
Over the past decade, graphene-based electrode materials have been extensively studies, both theoretically and experimentally, for the development of high-performance energy storage systems. In Zhao’s review, you will find a comprehensive account of the fundamental properties of graphene that merit its use in energy storage devices. Also covered are general methods for preparing graphene and its derivatives, and its applications as electrode materials for electrochemical energy storage devices, including supercapacitors, lithium-ion batteries, lithium–sulphur batteries, and lithium–oxygen batteries.
