What are graphene-based nanomaterials?

"Various graphene-based nanomaterials, such as functionalized graphenes, doped graphene, and graphene/metal or metal oxide composites, are emerging and have been investigated as catalysts for electrocatalytic reactions in fuel cells or other traditional catalytic reactions,"

What are the applications of graphene?

Graphene has potential applications in the energy sector, including energy storage, solar panels, fuel cells, batteries, and thermal management due to its high conductivity, transparency, surface area, chemical stability, and thermal conductivity. Graphene -based nanomaterials have many promising applications in energy-related areas.

Does graphene have a high specific capacity?

To achieve high capacity, graphene would need to be charged at more than 3 V. Unfortunately, this does not seem realistic, as anode materials should be charged and discharged at less than 1 V. At this potential, graphene actually has a lower specific capacity than commercial graphite.

What is a reduced graphene sheet called?

In the literature they are also called reduced graphene oxide, or functionalized graphene sheets, but here they are all referred to as graphene for ease of discussion. Two important devices — batteries and electrochemical capacitors — have been widely investigated.

Can a patent be infringed by a nanotechnology invention?

An issue related to the previous one concerns the question of whether the rights of a patent granted on a product without specification of the size of the invention could either be considered infringed by the corresponding nanotechnology invention or form the basis for requesting royalties from the inventor of that invention.

Can graphene be used for energy storage?

Graphene has captured the imagination of researchers for energy storage because of its extremely high theoretical surface area (2,630 m 2 g −1) compared with traditional activated carbon (typically below 1,500 m 2 g −1 ), excellent electrical conductivity, high mechanical strength and potential for low-cost manufacturing.
