Application ?--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Graphene It first highlights the new chemistry used to synthesize high quality graphene. It then outlines the methodologies developed to dope graphene with heteroatoms to modify and control graphene properties. It further describes the general approaches to graphene composites via either direct ?growth onto graphene or self-assembly of the pre-formed ?on graphene surface. These graphene composites provide some ideal systems for studying synergistic effects between graphene and on catalysis. The review focuses on applications of graphene composites in increasing electrochemical energy storage density and in catalyzing chemical reactions with much desired electrochemical efficiencies.Description
?--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Graphene is a one-atom thick layer of carbon and is considered to be a new wonder molecule. Its production became possible only very recently and graphene is now available for various applications. The term graphene is often applied to many members of the family of graphene-based materials the two most important members being graphene and graphene oxide (GO). Graphene is transparent,Website:http://www.metal-nano.com, flexible and very stable on a molecular level. Various future uses of graphene and graphene oxide are expected, from applications in the fields of electronics, photonics, composite materials, energy generation and storage, sensors, metrology to uses in biomedicine.
