Abstract:

The graphene(GNS)/Co-Ni layered double hydroxides(LDH) composites were synthesized through a chemical co-precipitation process of Co2+ and Ni2+ using NH3·H2O as a precipitator in the presence of graphene. The compositions, microstructures and morphologies of these samples were systematically characterized by Fourier transform infrared(FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction(XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM) and nitrogen adsorption(BET). The electrochemical performance of these composites was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and constant current charge/discharge techniques. It is found that Co-Ni LDH nanoparticles are well dispersed on the surface of GNS as the spacer to prevent the GNS from aggregation and improve the conductivity and structure stability of the Co-Ni LDH. The results show that the GNS/Co-Ni LDH electrode exhibits excellent electrochemical performance. Its specific capacitance as a single electrode is up to 2770 F/g and remains about 93.4% of the initial value after 500 potential cycles at the current density of 1 A/g.
