Title:
Shellac Derived Graphene on Solid and Flexible Substrates for Energy Applications |
Abstract:
Synthesis of graphene using a low-cost and simple method is of much interest for applications in energy conversion and storage devices. In this talk, a method of preparation of graphene onto stainless steel (SS 316) plates used as a solid surface, nickel foam (NiF) representative of a solid porous substrate, and carbon fiber fabric (CFF) as a porous-flexible substrate will be discussed. Finally, the applications of the prepared graphene as electrode materials for supercapacitors and bipolar plates for fuel cells will be presented. |
