Graphene and its derivatives have been widely used to develop novel materials with applications in energy storage. Among them, reduced graphene oxide has shown great potential for more efficient storage of Na ions and is a current target in the design of electrodes for environmentally friendly Na ion batteries. The search for more sustainable and versatile manufacturing processes also motivates research into additive manufacturing electrodes.
