蜂窝状开放边缘还原氧化石墨烯

Honeycomb-like open-edged reduced-graphene-oxide nanosheets (HOrGO NSs) filled with transition metal oxides (TMOs) as Co 3 O 4 /NiO nanoparticles (NPs) have been synthesized by a simple and cost-effective hydrothermal-calcination route. The properties of the prepared materials were studied by powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, TEM, XPS, and Brunauer−Emmett−Teller techniques. The hybrid electrode has a high specific capacity of 1345 Fg −1 at 1 Ag −1 with a superior rate performance of 93.6% capacity retention even at a current density of 1 Ag −1 . Moreover, the assembled Co 3 O 4 /NiO/rGO//AC hybrid supercapacitor achieves excellent performance with a maximum voltage of 1.6 V and a high energy density of 65.2 Whkg −1 at a power density of 780 Wkg −1 and excellent cycle stability performance with a capacity retention of 98.1% after 10,000 cycles. The excellent electrochemical performance is probably attributed to highly dispersed cobalt and nickel oxides nanoparticles on rGO nanosheets. This can increase the electron conductivity, provide more exposed electroactive sites, and facilitate the faradaic redox processes.
