Graphene and its derivatives have been extensively investigated in energy generation (i.e. fuel cells and photovoltaics) and storage (i.e. supercapacitors) devices owing to their large surface area and unique electrical properties. We have fabricated supercapacitor electrodes using dispersed reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and manganese oxide nanoparticles and direct alcohol fuel cell electrodes containing RGO, Pt and ceria nanoparticles. These RGO based composite materials have demonstrated excellent properties in charge storage and improved catalysis properties in fuel cells.
