Abstract
Research on performance conductivity of magnesium (Mg)/graphene nanosheet (GNS) as anode of batteries was carried out. This research is an experimental laboratory research. The purposes of this research are to synthesize anode material on battery and to evaluate performance of GNS and Mg/GNS as a supporting material and a candidate of electrode on battery anode, respectively. First, GNS was synthesized by using graphite as a raw material (modified Hummer’s method) and electrode of Mg/GNS was prepared with impregnation method. The characterization of GNS and Mg/GNS was carried out by using XRD and conductometer, respectively. The XRD data shows a weak and broad peak on GNS (2θ = 26.0°) indicating GNS was synthesized well and on 2θ = 43.79° indicating that the Mg was deposited inside of the graphene nanosheet. The conductivity data showed that Mg 2.02%/GNS has the highest electric conductivity of Mg (63.6945μS/cm) among to graphite and commercial battery anodes. Mg 1.91%/GNS has the lowest electric conductivity. Based on those data, GNS and Mg/GNS are potentially be used as an anode on battery.
