Graphene, its Family and Potential Applications

Abstract

In this chapter, we briefly introduce different kinds of carbon-based materials depending on their dimension. Different properties of graphene are discussed. Detailed descriptions of the synthesis of graphene-based materials are described. The chapter focuses on discussing graphene-based materials for supercapacitor application. The benefits of using graphene-based materials in the supercapacitor application are discussed. The activity of graphene-based materials toward fuel cells using different graphene-containing materials is described. The superiority of using graphene-based materials in fuel cell cathode catalysts for oxygen reduction reactions is also explained in this chapter.
