Optimization Of Graphene Parameters For The Development Of Supercapacitors, Jessica L. Montgomery
Optimization Of Graphene Parameters For The Development Of Supercapacitors, Jessica L. Montgomery
Mechanical Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses
In the growing market of evolving electronic devices and the sustainable goals of the energy industry, better sources of energy dense storage devices are needed. Carbon based supercapacitors have attracted the attention of research due to the natural properties of high electrical conductivity, chemical and electrochemical stability, and high surface area. The object of this thesis is to expand upon current knowledge of reduced graphene oxide to better understand the effectiveness of the material as electrode in supercapacitors. This thesis will focus on the physical orientation of supercapacitors to further develop a device that will allow a set of supercapacitors …

Optimization Of Reduced Graphene Oxide Deposition For Hydrogen Sensing Technologies, Matthew Pocta
Mechanical Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses
Graphene is known to be a key material for improving the performance of hydrogen sensors. High electrical conductivity, maximum possible surface area with respect to volume, and high carrier mobility are a few of the properties that make graphene ideal for hydrogen sensing applications. The problem with utilizing graphene is the difficulty in depositing uniform, thin layers onto substrate surfaces. This study examines a new method of optimizing graphene deposition by utilizing an airbrush to deposit both graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) onto glass substrates. The number of depositions were varied among samples to study the effect …
