Recently core/shell nanostructures including nanotubes, nanowires, and nanofibers have a considerable attension because multiple or enhanced functionality can be obtained by the synergistic effect of different materials in the formation of a core/shell structure. In this work, porous carbon/carbon core/shell carbon electrode (P-C/C-CE) composed of core graphene and disordered shells were prepared to obtain a new type of carbon electrode materials. The disordered carbon shells were prepared by coating of polyaniline onto the graphene by in-situ polymerization in the presence of nano-sized silica and subsequent carbonization at 850°C. After carbonization, P-C/C-CE showed the hollow structure and crystallinity. In addition, P-C/C-CE exhibited superior electrochemical performance compared to graphene and graphene/PANI composites, which was attributed to the high surface area of P-C/C-CE and the presence of nitrogen groups formed onto carbon electrode after the carbonization of shell polyaniline.

Abstract Paper based supercapacitors are prepared by stacking a paper between two graphene electrodes and soaking these in an aqueous electrolyte. We demonstrate that supercapacitors can easily be manufactured by using proven paper technologies. Several different electrode materials were compared and two types of contacting material, silver and graphite foil were tested. The influence of the paper used as separator was also investigated. The supercapacitors with a graphene-gold nanoparticle composite as electrodes showed a specific capacitance of up to 100 F/g and an energy density of 1.27 Wh/kg. The energy density can further be increased by using other electrolytes. The silver contacts showed a pseudo capacitance, which the graphite contacts did not. The papers tested had a minor effect on the capacitance, but they have an influence on the weight and the volume of the supercapacitor.

A sucrose derived carbon quantum dots/polyaniline (S-CQD/PANI) nanocomposite was synthesized as electrode materials by electrodeposition method to achieve excellent electrocapacitive performance for supercapacitor application. The morphology reveals that CQD were distributed uniformly over the surface of PANI. The highest specific capacitance obtained to be 1512.4 Fg−1 at current density 1 Ag−1 for S-CQD/PANI-25 composite in three electrode system with 1 M H2SO4 aqueous electrolyte within the potential range of −0.2 to 0.8 V. In addition asymmetric supercapacitor device was fabricated reveals highest specific capacitance of 295 Fg−1 at 1 Ag−1 with excellent stability over 1000 cycle at 3 Ag−1. Remarkably, the device delivers energy density of 40.86 Whkg−1 at power density 2000 Wkg−1.

Impact of moisture sorbed from air by porous carbon electrodes after vacuum drying on their specific capacitance in aqueous 1.0 M Na2SO4 solution was studied. It was shown by cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy that electrodes lose more than 20 % of the capacitance after such drying procedure and in order to recover it takes about 1 month.
