Graphene for Energy: Which Promising Applications and How?
The present talk aims at reviewing some of these energy applications where graphene and graphene related materials are thought to provide disruptive performances. Actually, fulfil of these promises will depend on the control of the full value chain going from graphene production to integration into the energy devices. Moreover, to fully benefit from graphene properties, the integration strategies have to address the interfacing issue of graphene with hosting material. Further graphene functionalization steps are thus often necessary to adapt the surface graphene properties. It leads to the development of various graphene functionalization technologies without which a successful transfer of graphene into energy applications would be impossible. Various examples dealing with graphene doping, nano-structuring or nano-decorating will be discussed to illustrate the key role of these enabling technologies.
