Chapter 8 - Polymer/graphene nanocomposites as versatile platforms for energy and electronic devices

Abstract

This chapter addresses the applications of the polymer/graphene nanocomposites in the energy devices such as supercapacitors, Li-ion batteries, and fuel cells. Moreover, the polymer/graphene nanocomposites have been explored for the electronic devices including sensors, electromagnetic interference shielding devices, transistors, 3D printed devices, etc. Graphene-based nanocomposites have shown superior specific capacitance, energy density, charge–discharge capacity, cycling stability, sensing, and other device-related properties in addition to fine electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and thermal stability. Design and processing of the polymer/graphene nanoarchitectures are needed to improve in order to address the performance of the energy and electronic devices. New polymer/graphene nanocomposite-based high-performance nanomaterials are desirable for advancements in the field of future energy and electronic devices.
