演讲题目:Synthesis of Graphene Hybrid Nanocomposites for Energy and Environmental Applications
内容摘要
The design of hybrid materials based on graphene is an obvious path for the exploitation of multifunctional properties and the creation of synergies between the hybrid components. In principle the possible range of materials to be combined with graphene is huge and the choice should be based on the final properties sought. For energy storage, catalysis and environmental applications numerous active materials could be used, but in general these are oxides or molecular clusters, typically ionic in nature and therefore quite different from graphene itself.[1]
During the last few years we have worked on prospective research for the development of a variety of hybrid materials (see Figure 1), among which we will present those based on graphene and oxides or polyoxometalates.
The challenges for the preparation of stable hybrid nanocomposite materials made of graphene and oxides or polyoxometalates will be analyzed and several examples presented of how to combine these dissimilar materials to form synergic combinations useful for batteries, supercapacitors or environmental applications.
