Nguyen National Science Foundation DMR-0520513 • A multi-component lithium-ion battery (LIB) comprising graphene- and graphene oxide-based papers and polymer nanocomposites. • Polymer nanocomposite thin films are prepared by hot-pressing of the respective powders, creating an electrolyte gradient to facilitate ion transfer. paper edge • Papers are assembled via flow-directed filtration of a graphene oxide suspension over a membrane, followed by the necessary chemical modification solutions. • The resulting paper-like materials can serve as cathode and anode in an LIB. 500 nm 10 μm 5 mm graphene oxide sheets suspended in PEO graphene oxide/PEO thin film graphene oxide paper 20 μm 500 nm 5 mm graphene/PEO thin film graphene oxide sheets suspended in PEO graphene paper
