Mangan Coated N-Graphene for Good Performance Electrode in Primary Battery Anode

Abstract

Even though lithium is expected to remain the dominant battery technology for the next decade, new battery technologies are on their way. N-Graphene and Mn/N-Graphene have the potential to be used as an alternative electrode on primary battery anode. The results showed that the N-Graphene diffraction showed a weak and wide peak at 2θ = 26.5 which indicates that N-Graphene was formed. The data is consistent with EDX data, where the abundance of N atoms in N-Graphene (4.68%). At the Mn / N-Graphene electrode a sharp peak appears at 2θ = 31, indicating that Mn is deposited in N-Graphene. The EDX data also shows that Mn atoms are deposited in graphene (0.15%). Mn / N-Graphene has the highest conductivity value (1250 μS/ cm) compared to primary battery anodes (10 μS / cm), Graphite/N-Graphene (350 μS / cm) and N-Graphene
