Graphene Materials
by Ashutosh Tiwari Mikael SyväjärviGraphene Materials: Fundamentals and Emerging Applications brings together innovative methodologies with research and development strategies to provide a detailed state-of-the-art overview of the processing, properties, and technology developments of graphene materials and their wide-ranging applications. The applications areas covered are biosensing, energy storage, environmental monitoring, and health. The book discusses the various methods that have been developed for the preparation and functionalization of single-layered graphene nanosheets. These form the essential building blocks for the bottom-up architecture of various graphene materials because they possess unique physico-chemical properties such as large surface areas, good conductivity and mechanical strength, high thermal stability and desirable flexibility. The electronic behavior in graphene, such as dirac fermions obtained due to the interaction with the ions of the lattice, has led to the discovery of novel miracles like Klein tunneling in carbon-based solid state systems and the so-called half-integer quantum Hall effect. The combination of these properties makes graphene a highly desirable material for applications. In particular, Graphene Materials: Fundamentals and Emerging Applications has chapters covering: - Graphene and related two-dimensional nanomaterials - Surface functionalization of graphene - Functional three-dimensional graphene networks - Covalent graphene-polymer nanocomposites - Magnesium matrix composites reinforced with graphene nanoplatelets - Graphene derivatives for energy storage - Graphene nanocomposite for high performance supercapacitors - Graphene nanocomposite-based bulk hetro-junction solar cells - Graphene bimetallic nanocatalysts foam for energy storage and biosensing - Graphene nanocomposites-based for electrochemical sensors - Graphene electrodes for health and environmental monitoring

Graphene Network Scaffolded Flexible Electrodes—From Lithium to Sodium Ion Batteries (Springer Theses)
by Dongliang ChaoResearch on deformable and wearable electronics has promoted an increasing demand for next-generation power sources with high energy/power density that are low cost, lightweight, thin and flexible. One key challenge in flexible electrochemical energy storage devices is the development of reliable electrodes using open-framework materials with robust structures and high performance. Based on an exploration of 3D porous graphene as a flexible substrate, this book constructs free-standing, binder-free, 3D array electrodes for use in batteries, and demonstrates the reasons for the research transformation from Li to Na batteries. It incorporates the first principles of computational investigation and in situ XRD, Raman observations to systematically reveal the working mechanism of the electrodes and structure evolution during ion insertion/extraction. These encouraging results and proposed mechanisms may accelerate further development of high rate batteries using smart nanoengineering of the electrode materials, which make “Na ion battery could be better than Li ion battery” possible.
