Battery films
GTSA film can be functionalized for energy storage. Different options are available, depending on the type of battery required and the technological choices made:
Graphene anode:
GTSA film is flexible and lightweight, making it ideal for integration with flexible electronic components.
Creating economic value:
Graphene can be used as a material for the anode (negative electrode) of a battery, particularly in lithium-ion batteries. Graphene can also be used as a support for active anode materials, improving lithium storage capacity and cyclic stability.
Graphene cathode:
Although less common, graphene can also be incorporated into the cathode (positive electrode) of certain batteries to improve electrical conductivity and chemical stability.
Graphene solid electrolyte:
Graphene can be used to enhance the properties of solid electrolyte in batteries, improving ionic conductivity and thermal stability.
Current collection electrode :
Graphene can be used as a material for current-collecting electrodes in a battery. Its high conductivity and high surface area make it suitable for ensuring efficient current transfer between electrodes and battery terminals.
Protective coatings:
Graphene can be used as a protective coating to improve the chemical and mechanical stability of electrodes and prevent the formation of dendrites, which can extend battery life and improve safety.
Redox flow batteries:
In redox flow batteries, graphene can be used as a material for redox electrodes, improving chemical reactivity and overall battery performance.
Hybrid supercapacitors:
Hybrid supercapacitors, which combine features of batteries and supercapacitors, can incorporate graphene in the electrodes to improve energy storage capacity and energy density.
