Performance of primary battery prototype: Cu/graphene nano sheets//electrolyte//C-π (graphite, graphene nano sheets, n–graphene nano sheets)

Abstract

Research on the performance of the primary battery prototype was conducted. This research aims to know the primary battery prototype preparation method (Cu/Graphene Nano Sheets//Electrolyte//C-ν) and evaluate its performance. This research is experimental laboratory research. Graphene Nano Sheets (GNS) and N-GNS were synthesized using modified Hummer and N dopants methods. The electrode of Cu/GNS was synthesized with the impregnation method. Primary battery prototype (Cu/GNS//Electrolyte//Graphite, Cu/GNS//Electrolyte//GNS, and Cu/GNS//Electrolyte//N-GNS were combined with the weight ratio alloy method with a ratio of 1: 1: 1. Primary battery prototype: Cu/GNS//Electrolyte//Graphite, Cu/GNS//Electrolyte//GNS, and Cu/GNS//Electrolyte//N-GNS were characterized by using Multimeter tools. The data results show that Cu/GBN//Electrolyte//GNS (394.4 µS/cm) has higher conductivity number than Cu/GNS//Electrolyte//Graphite (355.6 µS/cm) and Cu/GNS//Electrolyte//N-GNS (365 µS/cm). Based on the data, it was concluded that the character and performance of primary battery prototype: Cu/GNS//Electrolyte//C-π (Graphite, Graphene Nano Sheets, N–Graphene Nano Sheets) may be modified with combined electrolyte MnO2 and NH4Cl and supporting electrode Cu/GNS and C-π (Graphite, Graphene Nano Sheets, N-Graphene Nano Sheets).
