“…Furthermore, 3D‐printing technique is also a novel method to produce GA. For instance, Yao et al [97] . employed direct ink writing (DIW) method, a most common 3D‐printing technique, [98] to print 3D electrodes using GO ink ( Figure 9a). After freeze‐drying and annealing, the obtained 3D printed GA underwent a subsequent electrochemical and cleaning processes to introduce oxygen‐containing groups on their surface, yielding surface‐functionalized 3D‐printed graphene aerogel (SF‐3D GA) (see Figure 9b–c).…”

Fabrication of binder‐free electrodes is an effective way to increase the performance of electrochemical energy storage (EES) devices, such as rechargeable batteries and supercapacitors. In traditional electrodes, the binder is usually electrochemically inert and has weak interactions and interfaces between binder and the active material, which increase “dead mass” and directly affect the performance of energy storage system. The binder‐free electrode can provide well‐designed electrode material structure enables well connection between active materials themselves and current collectors. In addition, without insulating binder, electron and electrolyte ions can transfer more efficiently within the electrode materials. Here, we reviewed research efforts in using various techniques involving chemical, physical and electrical methods to fabricate binder‐free electrodes. For every technique, we first briefly describe their principle and involved factors that influence the performance of as‐fabricated binder‐free electrodes and summarize advantages and disadvantages. Next, we reviewed several works which have used this technique to fabricate binder‐free electrodes. Further, the effect of well‐crafted structure design on the properties of energy storage performances including rate capability, and cycle stability was highlighted. Last, we offer our perspectives on the challenges and potential future research directions in this area. We hope this review can stimulate more research to design and synthesize the binder‐free materials for EES devices.

Graphene, a 2D carbon structure, due to its unique materials characteristics for energy storage applications has grasped the considerable attention of scientists. The highlighted properties of this material with a mechanically robust and highly conductive nature have opened new opportunities for different energy storage systems such as Li-S (lithium-sulfur), Li-ion batteries, and metal-air batteries. It is necessary to understand the intrinsic properties of graphene materials to widen its large-scale applications in energy storage systems. In this review, different routes of graphene synthesis were investigated using chemical, thermal, plasma, and other methods along with their advantages and disadvantages. Apart from this, the applications of N-doped graphene in energy storage devices were discussed.

In this study, the focus was on the development of green energy and future prediction for the consumption of current energy sources and green energy development using an improved deep learning (DL) algorithm. In addition to the analysis of the current energy consumption used for the natural gas and oil as fuel, deep neural network algorithm is used to train the system as well as to process the data obtained previously, ranging from literature from the year 2003 until the year 2019, for consumption of fuel. Also, using the proposed algorithm to predict the development of green energy consumption till 2030 is presented in terms of solar and wind generators. The resulting study also focuses on depletion of energy currently used or pollution caused because of it. The green energy controlling issue can take effect by using multiple layers of handling different features extracted from different sources and then learning the system to control it.This study aims to take advantage of carbon emissions to reduce their impact and dependence in the future on environmentally friendly renewable energies. Predicting the correct and precise amount of energy consumption and increasing the amount of environmentally friendly energy lead to a healthy ecosystem. The expected green energy consumption in the future is almost 78.25 EJ in 2030 and will be, in total energy average, 56% in 2045. The aim is to reduce dependency on costly and environmentally harmful fuels.
