Graphene for Energy

A recent review by Linjie Zhi and co-workers at the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology, Beijing, China, and Curtin University, Australia, provides an overview of the pros and cons of different routes to graphene; top-down, including exfoliation and chemical reduction of graphene oxide, and bottom-up, including epitaxial growth and synthesis. The authors then go on to look at how graphene can be useful in various energy applications. They show that graphene has contributions to make in many different energy-related areas and detail the challenges that still need to be overcome in order to bring graphene to use in commercial devices.
