Dalton Trans. 2011 Jun 28;40(24):6388-91. doi: 10.1039/c1dt10397k. Epub 2011 May 19.

Abstract

CeO(2) nanoparticles/graphene nanocomposite is fabricated by depositing CeO(2) nanoparticles onto three-dimensional graphene material and its supercapacitor performance is further investigated. The nanocomposite shows a high specific capacitance and power density, demonstrating a strong synergistic effect possibly contributed from improved conductivity of CeO(2) and better utilization of graphene.
