Abstract

The importance of introducing renewable and clean energy sources is more than ever, given the limited fossil fuel resources and concerns in recent years about the increase in global temperatures. Graphene and its composites have received much attention in recent years, and their applications in electrochemical energy storage and conversion systems are expanding. This review, by categorizing the results of recent research in the field of using graphene-based composites and combining them with innovative materials such as conductive polymers (CPs), activated carbons (ACs) extracted from biomass, and transition metal oxides (TMOs) nanoparticles, provides a good comparison and facilitates the selection of appropriate options in future research. The morphology of the electrode active materials used in the electrode structure and their discussion are among the other issues examined in the present work. It appears that binary and ternary nanocomposites, which combine nanomaterials and leverage the advantages of each, through a synergistic effect mechanism, will create a promising future for clean, affordable, and renewable energy systems.
