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.

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.

Preparation of pure three-dimensional graphene (3DG) with high rate performance for supercapacitors is critical for fast rate charge/discharge. Here, 3DG was prepared via thermal annealing of freeze-dried reduced graphene oxide (RGO) hydrogel under inert gas protection. The formed 3DG as an electrode material for supercapacitors revealed a specific capacitance of 115 F·g−1 at a current density of 1 A·g−1, and a high capacitance retention of 70% as current density increased to 40 A·g−1. The excellent rate capability was mainly attributed to the reserved porous structure and higher electrical conductivity for 3DG after thermal reduction than its RGO hydrogel precursor.

In this article, polyaniline nanofibers/reduced graphene oxide (PANI-NFs/rGO) nanocomposites were prepared by a one-pot hydrothermal method. Under the condition of high temperature and high pressure, graphene oxide (GO) was reduced to rGO and aniline was in-situ polymerized to form PANI-NFs using ammonium persulfate as oxidant. The morphologies and structures of PANI-NFs/rGO nanocomposites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Raman analysis. The results show that PANI-NFs uniformly grow on the surfaces of rGO sheets, which can act as spacers to prevent the aggregation of rGO. Combining with FTIR and Raman analysis, it can be concluded that PANI-NFs/rGO nanocomposites are successfully prepared. The electrochemical performances of PANI-NFs/rGO nanocomposites were tested by cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge–discharge. The PANI-NFs/rGO nanocomposites exhibit superior electrochemical performances compared to the PANI-NFs. With 10 wt% of GO loaded, the PANI-NFs/rGO nanocomposite exhibits highest specific capacitance of 942 F g−1 at a current density of 1 A g−1. The PANI-NFs/rGO nanocomposites also demonstrate good rate capacity and high cycling stability under the high discharging current density (10 A g−1), the specific capacitance can still reach to 680 F g−1. After 1000 charge–discharge cycling at a current density of 5 A g−1, 78% of specific capacitance can be retained. The enhanced capacitive performances can be attributed to the facile electron conduction pathway brought by the even distribution of highly conductive rGO nanosheets.
