¤ About project

The EnGraMS project aims the design and fabrication of novel engineering nano-systems based on graphene-like materials, including reduced graphene oxide (rGO), graphene quantum dots (GQDs), and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), using micro-nanotechnologies for miniaturized supercapacitors development, with potential applications in several priority domains, like portable electronics or implantable medical devices industry.

The charge storage mechanism in supercapacitor electrodes based on these nanomaterials is still unclear, either when they are alone or even more when they are interacting with one other.

Moreover, a systematic study to give the driving principles for optimizing electrode architectures is not yet realized, especially for hybrid systems based on different graphene-like materials, where both pseudocapacitance and electrical double layer capacitance are interplaying.

Therefore, understanding the relationship between the electrode structure and supercapacitive performances remains a major challenge and, at the same time, a promising strategy for the next improvements.
