Electrochemistry of Graphene

Hollie 1/. Patten, Matej Velicky, and Robert A.W. Dryfe 

It was rapidly realized that the physical properties of graphene made it a potentially useful electrode material, first in the context of supercapacitors [3], then as an electrode material (or conductive additive) for battery applications [4]. Much of this interest in the electrochemical properties of graphene, and related two-dimensional materials, has been device driven, that is, motivated by their

Consequently, for investigations of graphene as an electrode material, or indeed any investigation of its physical properties, both defect concentration and flake size must be optimized for the application in mind. Accordingly, it is essential to discuss the methods used to make graphene a survey of this area is given in Section 4.2.
