Abstract

Highlights: Synthesis and functionalization of graphene-based nanomaterials. Structural versatility and synergies of functionalized graphene-based nanomaterials. Functionalization of graphene-based nanomaterials and nanocomposites for energy storage. Design and engineering of graphene-based nanomaterials for hydrogen storage systems. Abstract: Graphene and its derivatives are attractive solid-state candidates to meet the needs of next-generation energy and hydrogen storage technologies. Although impressive storage capacities have been demonstrated, materials meeting all targets established by the United States Department of Energy have yet to be identified. In this review, we provide an overview of recent developments in functionalized graphene-based nanomaterials for energy and hydrogen storage systems. First, considerations for the most common synthetic approaches to graphene-based nanomaterials are briefly summarized. Then, the effects of traditional functionalization strategies on the structural characteristics and properties of pristine graphene are discussed. Lastly, recent advances and progress in energy applications using functionalized graphene-based nanomaterials including supercapacitors, batteries and hydrogen storage are highlighted, and new directions are discussed.
