Carbon & Graphene Based Materials

Because of their unique 2D structure and numerous fascinating properties, graphene-based materials have attracted particular attention for their potential applications in energy storage devices. It helps of development of electrode materials for batteries and super capacitors from graphene and graphene-based carbon materials. There are three different methods for improving the energy storage performance of graphene: the restacking of the nanosheets, the doping of graphene with other elements, and the creation of defects on graphene planes.

• High strength
• High impact resistance
• Low co-efficient of thermal expansion, sometimes even negative co-efficient of thermal expansion
• Good resistance to thermal shock
• A range of optical properties, from translucent to opaque and sometime opalescence
