Functional Graphene Coatings in Electrochemical Energy Technology—Beyond Corrosion Protection †

Abstract

Coating the surfaces of active masses and auxiliary components in devices of electrochemical energy technology with graphene and closely related materials has been suggested and experimentally verified in numerous examples. The results in terms of improved performance are promising and suggest the need for further research and technological development. This report provides a complete overview, providing details that are relevant for understanding the way in which these coatings work. Suggestions and directions for further development are indicated.
