Synthesis and Characterization of Nanomaterials in Energy Harvesting and Storage Application

Abstract

In an era defined by the urgent need for sustainable energy solutions, nanomaterials have emerged as game-changers in energy harvesting and storage technologies. One example of nanomaterials are graphene, a two-dimensional nanomaterial composed of layer of carbon atoms. Their extraordinary properties such as high electrical and thermal conductivity, a huge surface area and mechanical strength makes graphene a good candidate for advancing in photovoltaics, batteries and supercapacitors for sustainable energy system. This study employs graphene as the main nanomaterial used to propagate its potential in supercapacitors. The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance of graphene nanomaterials in charge-discharge and storage applications in supercapacitors.
