Abstract

Abstract:

Graphene and N-doped graphene were synthesized by a solvothermal process, and their composites with SnO₂ nanoparticles were prepared by a facile one-pot chemical solution method. The corresponding films were fabricated by a blade coating process and followed by heat treatment at 400℃ for 1 h. All-solid-state supercapacitors were fabricated with graphene based films and a polymer gel of polyvinyl alcohol/H₃PO₄ as electrodes and electrolyte, respectively. The capacitance performance of the as-fabricated supercapacitors was characterized. The results suggest that compared with graphene, N-doped graphene exhibits larger crystalline size, lower specific surface area, yet superior capacitance performance, and the incorporation of SnO₂ nanoparticles on graphene and N-doped graphene sheets enhances their capacitive characteristics.

Key words: nanocomposite, SnO2 nanoparticles, nitrogen-doped graphene, supercapacitors
