Tuning the hierarchical pore structure of graphene oxide through dual thermal activation for high-performance supercapacitor.

ABSTRACT: Herein, we introduce a simple method to prepare hierarchical graphene with a tunable pore structure by activating graphene oxide (GO) with a two-step thermal annealing process. First, GO was treated at 600 °C by rapid thermal annealing in air, followed by subsequent thermal annealing in N₂. The prepared graphene powder comprised abundant slit nanopores and micropores, showing a large specific surface area of 653.2 m²/g with a microporous surface area of 367.2 m²/g under optimized conditions. The pore structure was easily tunable by controlling the oxidation degree of GO and by the second annealing process. When the graphene powder was used as the supercapacitor electrode, a specific capacitance of 372.1 F/g was achieved at 0.5 A/g in 1 M H₂SO₄ electrolyte, which is a significantly enhanced value compared to that obtained using activated carbon and commercial reduced GO. The performance of the supercapacitor was highly stable, showing 103.8% retention of specific capacitance after 10,000 cycles at 10 A/g. The influence of pore structure on the supercapacitor performance was systematically investigated by varying the ratio of micro- and external surface areas of graphene.

Pulse electrochemical synthesis of polypyrrole/graphene oxide@graphene aerogel for high-performance supercapacitor.

Project description:A novel electroactive polypyrrole/graphene oxide@graphene aerogel (PGO@GA) was synthesized for the first time by pulse electropolymerization. The off-time in this technique allows polypyrrole (PPy) to go through a more stable structural arrangement, meanwhile its electronic transmission performance is enhanced by immobilizing graphene oxide between PPy chains. Moreover, graphene aerogel provides a three-dimensional structure with high conductivity to protect PPy from swelling and shrinking during the capacitive testing. Under these synergistic effects, PGO@GA presents exceptional capacitive performances including high specific capacitance (625 F g-1 at 1 A g-1), excellent rate capability (keeping 478 F g-1 at 15 A g-1 with retention rate of 76.5%), and excellent cycling life (retaining 85.7% of its initial value when cycling 5000 times at 10 A g-1). Therefore, the strategy adopted by this research provides a good reference for preparing other PPy-based electrode materials applied in the fields of catalysis, sensing, adsorption and energy storage.

Silver Nanoparticles Embedded on Reduced Graphene Oxide@Copper Oxide Nanocomposite for High Performance Supercapacitor Applications.

Project description:In this work, silver (Ag) decorated reduced graphene oxide (rGO) coated with ultrafine CuO nanosheets (Ag-rGO@CuO) was prepared by the combination of a microwave-assisted hydrothermal route and a chemical methodology. The prepared Ag-rGO@CuO was characterized for its morphological features by field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy while the structural characterization was performed by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis was undertaken to confirm the elemental composition. The electrochemical performance of prepared samples was studied by cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge in a 2M KOH electrolyte solution. The CuO nanosheets provided excellent electrical conductivity and the rGO sheets provided a large surface area with good mesoporosity that increases electron and ion mobility during the redox process. Furthermore, the highly conductive Ag nanoparticles upon the rGO@CuO surface further enhanced electrochemical performance by providing extra channels for charge conduction. The ternary Ag-rGO@CuO nanocomposite shows a very high specific capacitance of 612.5 to 210 Fg-1 compared against rGO@CuO which has a specific capacitance of 375 to 87.5 Fg-1 and the CuO nanosheets with a specific capacitance of 113.75 to 87.5 Fg-1 at current densities 0.5 and 7 Ag-1, respectively.

Electrochemically Stable Cobalt⁻Zinc Mixed Oxide/Hydroxide Hierarchical Porous Film Electrode for High-Performance Asymmetric Supercapacitor.

Project description:Construction of electrochemically stable positive materials is still a key challenge to accomplish high rate performance and long cycling life of asymmetric supercapacitors (ASCs). Herein, a novel cobalt⁻zinc mixed oxide/hydroxide (CoZn-MOH) hierarchical porous film electrode was facilely fabricated based on a cobalt⁻zinc-based metal⁻organic framework for excellent utilization in ASC. The as-constructed hierarchical porous film supported on conductive Ni foam possesses a rough surface and abundant macropores and mesopores, which allow fast electron transport, better exposure of electrochemically active sites, and facile electrolyte access and ion diffusion. Owing to these structural merits in collaboration, the CoZn-MOH electrode prepared with a zinc feeding ratio up to 45% at 110 min of heating time (CoZn-MOH-45-110) exhibited a high specific capacitance of 380.4 F·g-1, remarkable rate capability (83.6% retention after 20-fold current increase), and outstanding cycling performances (96.5% retention after 10,000 cycles), which exceed the performances of similar active electrodes. Moreover, an ASC based on this CoZn-MOH-45-110 electrode exhibited a high specific capacitance of 158.8 F·g-1, an impressive energy density of 45.8 Wh·kg-1, superior rate capability (83.1% retention after 50-fold current increase), and satisfactory cycling stability (87.9% capacitance retention after 12,000 cycles).

Constructing N-doped and 3D Hierarchical Porous graphene nanofoam by plasma activation for supercapacitor and Zn ion capacitor.

Project description:Traditional electrode materials still face vital challenges of few active sites, low porosity, complex synthesis process, and low specific capacitance. Herein, N-doped and 3D hierarchical porous graphene nanofoam (N-GNF) is created on carbon fibers (CFs) by employing a facile, fast, and environmentally friendly strategy of N2 plasma activation. After an appropriated N2 plasma activation, the graphene nanosheets (GNSs) synthesized by Ar/CH4 plasma deposition transform into N-GNF successfully. N doping donates rich active sites and increases the hydrophilia, while hierarchical nanoarchitecture exposes an enlarged effective contact area at the interface between electrode and electrolyte and affords sufficient space for accommodating more electrolytes. The as-assembled flexible N-GNF@CFs//Zn NSs@CFs Zn ion capacitor delivered a high energy density of 105.2 Wh kg-1 at 378.6 W kg-1 and initial capacity retention of 87.9% at the current of 2 A g-1 after a long cycle of 10,000.

Effect of Composition Ratios on the Performance of Graphene/Carbon Nanotube/Manganese Oxide Composites toward Supercapacitor Applications.

Project description:Herein, we describe the preparation and characterization of graphene/carbon nanotube (CNT)/MnO v composites and the effects of chemical composition and phase transformation on the properties of the corresponding electrode film. In general, the effect of graphene-to-CNT ratio (G/C ratio) and the manganese (Mn) content on the morphology, chemical state, crystallization properties, and microstructure of the composite material was examined by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and selected area electron diffraction. The bonding mechanism between MnO v and graphite-based materials, that is, graphene and CNTs, is discussed. The influence of the composition of the composites on the performance of the electrode was investigated using charge-discharge curves. The faradically active MnO v also functioned as a considerable cobinder and allowed for a reduced amount of polymeric binder, which enhanced the conductivity and capacitance of the electrode. The optimized electrode composition was obtained based on our present graphene and CNT specifications. In summary, the results discussed in this article provide significant background information for future applications of graphene/CNT/MnO v composite electrodes.

Dual Tuning of Biomass-Derived Hierarchical Carbon Nanostructures for Supercapacitors: the Role of Balanced Meso/Microporosity and Graphene.

Project description:Rational design of advanced carbon nanomaterials with a balanced mesoporosity to microporosity is highly desirable for achieving high energy/power density for supercapacitors because the mesopore can allow better transport pathways for the solvated ions of larger than 1 nm. Inspired by the inherent meso/macroporous architecture and huge absorption ability to aqueous solution of auricularia biomass, we demonstrate a new biomass-derived synthesis process for the three-dimensional (3D) few-layered graphene nanosheets incorporated hierarchical porous carbon (GHPC) nanohybrids. The as-prepared GHPC nanohybrids possess a balanced mesoporosity to microporosity with much improved conductivity, which is highly desirable for achieving high energy/power density for supercapacitors. As we predicted, they delivered a high specific capacitance of 256 F g(-1) at 1 A g(-1) with excellent rate capability (120 F g(-1) at 50 A g(-1)) and long cycle life (92% capacity retention after 10000 cycles) for symmetric supercapacitors in 1 M H2SO4. Based on the as-obtained carbon materials, a flexible and all-solid-state supercapacitor was also assembled, which can be fully recharged within 10 s and able to light an LED even under bended state. Such excellent performance is at least comparable to the best reports in the literature for two-electrode configuration under aqueous systems.

Nanoporous Iron Oxide/Carbon Composites through In-Situ Deposition of Prussian Blue Nanoparticles on Graphene Oxide Nanosheets and Subsequent Thermal Treatment for Supercapacitor Applications.

Project description:This work reports the successful preparation of nanoporous iron oxide/carbon composites through the in-situ growth of Prussian blue (PB) nanoparticles on the surface of graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets. The applied thermal treatment allows the conversion of PB nanoparticles into iron oxide (Fe2O3) nanoparticles. The resulting iron oxide/carbon composite exhibits higher specific capacitance at all scan rates than pure GO and Fe2O3 electrodes due to the synergistic contribution of electric double-layer capacitance from GO and pseudocapacitance from Fe2O3. Notably, even at a high current density of 20 A g-1, the iron oxide/carbon composite still shows a high capacitance retention of 51%, indicating that the hybrid structure provides a highly accessible path for diffusion of electrolyte ions.

Enhanced Supercapacitor Performance and Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Effectiveness of CuS Quantum Dots Grown on Reduced Graphene Oxide Sheets.

Project description:This study is focused on the preparation of the CuS/RGO nanocomposite via the hydrothermal method using GO and Cu-DTO complex as precursors. X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study revealed the formation of the CuS/RGO nanocomposite with improved crystallinity, defective nanostructure, and the presence of the residual functional group in the RGO sheet. The morphological study displayed the transformation of CuS from nanowire to quantum dots with the incorporation of RGO. The galvanostatic charge/discharge curve showed that the CuS/RGO nanocomposite (12 wt % Cu-DTO complex) has tremendous and outperforming specific capacitance of 3058 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 current density with moderate cycling stability (∼60.3% after 1000 cycles at 10 A g-1). The as-prepared nanocomposite revealed excellent improvement in specific capacitance, cycling stability, Warburg impedance, and interfacial charge transfer resistance compared to neat CuS. The fabricated nanocomposites were also investigated for their bulk DC electrical conductivity and EMI shielding ability. It was observed that the CuS/RGO nanocomposite (9 wt % Cu-DTO) exhibited a total electromagnetic shielding efficiency of 64 dB at 2.3 GHz following absorption as a dominant shielding mechanism. Such a performance is ascribed to the presence of interconnected networks and synergistic effects.

The Reinforced Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Performance of Thermal Reduced Graphene Oxide Films via Polyimide Pyrolysis.

Project description:In this work, thin reduced graphene oxide (GO) composite films were fabricated for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding application. High solid content GO slurry (7 wt %) was obtained by dispersing GO clay in polymer solution under high-speed mechanical stirring. A composite film with varied thickness (10-150 μm) could be fabricated in pilot scale. After an optimized thermal annealing procedure, the final product showed good conductivity, which reached 500 S·cm-1. The thin sample (thickness < 0.1 mm) containing 10% polymer showed an enhanced EMI shielding performance of 55-65 dB. The outstanding EMI shielding efficiency as well as good suppleness and industrialized potential of thermal reduced graphene oxide polymer composite films could make a progress on their application in flexible devices as an EMI shielding material.

Tuning the Selectivity and Activity of Electrochemical Interfaces with Defective Graphene Oxide and Reduced Graphene Oxide.

Project description:Engineered solid-liquid interfaces will play an important role in the development of future energy storage and conversion (ESC) devices. In the present study, defective graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) structures were used as engineered interfaces to tune the selectivity and activity of Pt disk electrodes. GO was deposited on Pt electrodes via the Langmuir-Blodgett technique, which provided compact and uniform GO films, and these films were subsequently converted to rGO by thermal reduction. Electrochemical measurements revealed that both GO and rGO interfaces on Pt electrodes exhibit selectivity toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), but they do not have an impact on the activity of the hydrogen oxidation reaction in acidic environments. Scanning transmission electron microscopy at atomic resolution, along with Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), revealed possible diffusion sites for H2 and O2 gas molecules and functional groups relevant to the selectivity and activity of these surfaces. Based on these insights, rGO interfaces are further demonstrated to exhibit enhanced activity for the ORR in nonaqueous environments and demonstrate the power of our ex situ engineering approach for the development of next-generation ESC devices.
