Abstract: Disclosed is a graphene polymer composite material, including a matrix resin, a filler and a plurality of nano-scaled graphene sheets. Each nano-scaled graphene sheet has a surface-modified layer formed of a surface modifying agent, which provides hydrophilic and hydrophobic functional groups used to form chemical bonds with the matrix resin and the filler, thereby greatly improving strength of junction cohesion. The filler helps the graphene sheets to contact each other so as so to increase overall electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. Since the graphene sheets are uniformly dispersed in the matrix resin, the composite material of the present invention possesses excellent mechanical property, anti-oxidation, acid-base resistance, high electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. Therefore, the composite material is suitable for the industries in need of high performance material.

Abstract: A graphene composite coating layer for being coated on the surface of the target object comprises a curable mixed resin more than 97 wt % and a plurality of surface modified nano graphene sheets. The curable mixed resin comprises a curable resin and a curing agent. The curable resin is 10-50 wt % of the curable mixed resin, and the curing agent is 0˜10 wt % of the curable mixed resin.

Abstract: A current collector structure includes a metal foil substrate and a graphene conductive layer provided on at least one surface of the metal foil substrate. The graphene conductive layer includes a plurality of graphene sheets and a polymer binder used to bind the graphene sheets together and to adhere the graphene sheets onto the metal foil substrate. The conductive layer has a thickness of 0.1 ?m to 5 ?m and a resistance less than 1 ?-cm. The polymer binder increases the adhesion force, such that the integrated conductive network is thus formed.

The active material of the electrochemical element is thus tightly bound with the graphene conductive layer so as to minimize the contact resistance and greatly improve the performance of the electrochemical element.
