Flexible Graphene Based Polymeric Electrodes for Low Energy Applications

In this work, novel flexible metal-free polymeric cathode electrodes are developed through a cost-effective procedure for low energy generation applications. For this purpose, a nanocomposite film made of poly vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) filled with graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) is produced through an easy process, without the use of any chemical or physical doping agent. The fabricated PVDF/GNP nanocomposite films are morphologically and chemically characterized and their applicability as polymeric electrodes is investigated through electrochemical tests.
