A series of reduced graphene oxide/cobalt oxide composites (Co3O4/rGO)were fabricated via a chemical precipitation approach and subsequent calcination in Ar atmosphere. Experimental results show that Co3O4/rGO composite with 86 wt% of Co3O4 loading exhibits the optimum specific capacitance of 240 F g-1 in 6.0 M KOH electrolyte at the current density of 0.8 A g-1, excellent quick charge-discharge performance and outstanding cyclic stability with 2.3% of its specific capacitance increase after 2400 cycles at the current density of 8 A g-1 in GCD test, exhibiting significant potential of Co3O4 /rGO composite in the application of supercapacitors.

Reduced Graphene

A facile method to synthesize highly reduced graphene oxide in solid phase was developed. The reduced graphene oxide was scarcely prepared in solid phase. Solid substances act as spacers and pillaring agents. Sheets can not be close to each other in reduction process, and sheets agglomeration might not form. After reduction reaction is complete, the spacers and pillaring agents are removed. The average interlayer spacing and surface area of product are bigger than those of reduced graphene oxide. The product has few-layered sheet, and the ratio of carbon to oxygen is high, which might imply that the product is more similar to graphene compared to reduced graphene oxide. The specific capacitance of product is almost three times higher than that of reduced graphene oxide at the same current density.

Graphene with different reduction degrees was prepared by fast thermally reduction of exfoliated graphite oxide (GO) at 200-700 °C. Structure and the electrochemical capacitive performance were characterized and measured. The results show that different thermal reduction temperatures can obtain reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with different reduction degrees and influence the electrochemical capacitive performance. The rGO-400 by thermal treat at 400 °C exhibits a significantly high specific capacitance of 407 F g-1 in 6.0 M KOH electrolyte at a current density of 0.4 A g-1 and outstanding cyclic stability with 96.1% of its origin specific capacitance maintained after 2000 cycles at the current density of 10 A g-1 in GCD test.

Conductive polymers (CPs) have potential application to commercial energy storage because of their high electrochemical activity and low cost. However, an obstacle in developing CP-based supercapacitors is the degradation in their capacitance during the charge-discharge process that leads to poor rate performance. This study fabricates layers of a high-performance self-assembled polypyrrole/reduced graphene oxide (PPY/RGO) composite material on a carbon cloth through electrochemical deposition. The layered graphene improved the electrochemical properties of PPY. Carbon fiber rods were coated with the PPY/RGO composite layer, the thickness of which depends on the deposition time. Adequate capacitive behaviors were achieved by using 16 layers of polypyrrole/reduced graphene oxide, with a specific capacitance of 490 F g−1 (0.6 A g−1) and good rate performance. The results here provide a novel means of preparing graphene-based nanocomposites films for a variety of functions. A symmetric device was subsequently assembled by using electrodes featuring 16 layers of the polypyrrole/reduced graphene oxide composite. It yielded a specific capacitance of 205 F g−1 and a high energy density of 16.4 Wh kg−1. It also exhibited good cycle stability, with a capacitance retention rate of 85% for 5,000 cycles.
