Graphene oxide (GO) shows high proton conductivity (similar or equal to 10(-4) Scm(-1)), excellent mechanical stability, and electrical insulation property, which makes it an ideal candidate for use as a proton conducting solid state electrolyte. The prospects of using GO as single phase solid electrolyte in an all solid battery is presented herein. A battery with the cell configuration: Zn + ZnSO4 center dot 7H(2)O + graphite (anode) parallel to GO (electrolyte) parallel to MnO2 + graphite (cathode) is fabricated. Cyclic voltammetry confirms its rechargeable nature. The respective discharge capacity and power density of the cell are 360 mu Ah and 19.5 mW kg(-1) at a constant current drain of 3 mu A under the experimental conditions employed. GO based proton conductors are cleaner and cheaper than other solid electrolytes. The current study strongly suggests that GO can be used as a practical and beneficial component in solid state battery applications with low energy feedback.
