Nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide electrodes for electrochemical supercapacitors

Phys Chem Chem Phys. 2014 Feb 14;16(6):2280-4. doi: 10.1039/c3cp54877e.

Abstract

Herein we use Nitrogen-doped reduced Graphene Oxide (N-rGO) as the active material in supercapacitor electrodes. Building on a previous work detailing the synthesis of this material, electrodes were fabricated via spray-deposition of aqueous dispersions and the electrochemical charge storage mechanism was investigated. Results indicate that the functionalised graphene displays improved performance compared to non-functionalised graphene. The simplicity of fabrication suggests ease of up-scaling of such electrodes for commercial applications.
