▎ 摘　　要

This article contributes a broad analysis of the latest improvement on energy storage operations using single layer surface modified graphene oxide (GO). GO, a thin structure of graphite oxide, is a modified graphene, holding several oxygen-casing functional groups. This provides GO with numerous distinctive features for multipurpose applications in capacitors, fuel cells and batteries. Precise applications are distinguished primarily comprising use in electrodes as the dynamic substantial's to augment the recital or as substrates to discriminate the configurations, in solid-state solution and membranes techniques to advance the ionic attraction and other behaviors, and in internal structure layers to guard the current collectors, membranes or electrodes. Additionally, the problems, difficulties and looming overlooks are conferred in the article for promising promotes research development of GO applications.
