“…24 Therefore, CNT is outstanding among advanced materials to be implemented in the thermal application and energy storage. CNTs are electrically conducting tools, which are comparable to diamond and have involved in many applications such as TIMs, [25][26][27] batteries, 28-30 energy storage, [31][32][33] supercapacitor, 34 fuel cell, [35][36][37][38] and portable sensors. [17][18][19]21,22 The synthesis of CNT is already established few years ago and has attained large scale of production.…”

Summary The performance of allotrope carbon materials has been explored because of their superior properties in energy system applications. This review provides an understanding of the current work focusing on the applications of selected carbon materials in important energy systems, focus on thermal interface materials (TIMs), and fuel cell applications. This article begins with the introduction of TIMs and fuel cell in general working principle and presents details on carbon materials. The discussion focuses on updates from the latest research work and addresses current challenges and opportunities for research toward TIMs and fuel cell applications. The optimum performance of TIMs was seen when thermal conductivity achieved at a maximum of 3000 W (m K)−1 by using vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and a minimum internal thermal resistance of 0.3 mm2 K W−1. Meanwhile for fuel cell, the platinum/CNTs catalyst applied proton exchange membrane fuel cell achieved high power density of 661 mW cm−2 in the presence of Nafion electrolyte membrane. This review provides insights for scientists about the use of carbon materials, especially in energy system applications.

“…In case of MWCNTs the diameter varies from 5 to 20 nm, seldom exceeding 100 nm [23]. Having remarkable properties such as high electrical conductivity, very high tensile strength and low thermal expansion coefficient, CNTs have been investigated for many applications such as composite materials, microelectronics and electronic components, solar cells, energy storage devices [24] etc. In addition, their one-dimensional structure makes them an ideal platform for biomedical applications.…”

The goal of this chapter is to provide a general introduction about graphene nanocomposites studied by Raman spectroscopy. The chapter will therefore begin with a brief description of the major Raman bands of carbon allotropes. In the following chapter a concise comparison between single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), fullerenes and graphene is exposed. The characteristic features in Raman spectra of carbon allotropes, namely the intense signals D and G are investigated. In particular, the chapter will outline the Raman spectrum of graphene and different types of graphene oxide. The last part of the chapter is devoted to graphene nanocomposites.

“…Meanwhile, metallic aluminum and copper foils are usually used as current correctors and this leads to a poor adhesion between active materials and collectors. When the electrodes undergo repetitive deformations, active materials tend to fall off from current collectors, resulting in irreversible decreases in energy density and cycling life of the devices …”

The emerging flexible electronic devices have stimulated the development of flexible batteries, in which flexible electrodes are indispensable components. Graphene, known for its excellent electrical conductivity and mechanical stability, can be used as an ideal flexible substrate. Recently, many efforts have been devoted to graphene-based electrodes for flexible batteries. Herein, this review summarizes recent advances in the development of graphene-based electrodes for various flexible batteries, including metal-ion batteries (ions of Li, Na, Zn, Al, etc.), lithiumsulfur batteries, and metal-air batteries (Li-and Zn-air batteries). Besides, major challenges and future developments of flexible batteries are also discussed. K E Y W O R D S flexible batteries, flexible electrodes, graphene
