Abstract Reduced graphene oxide (RGO) was prepared via low-temperature heat treatment, which was used to study on the effect of aqueous electrolyte on electrochemical properties of RGO. The RGO were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM), the electrochemical properties of RGO were investigated by cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge/discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques. The results indicate that the retained functional groups were benefit for the improvement of specific capacitance and the specific capacitance of RGO in 1 mol/LH2SO4 was better than that in 1 mol/L Na2SO4. Keywords: Aqueous Electrolyte; Low-temperature; Reduced Graphene Oxide; Electrochemical Properties

水系电解液对低温还原氧化石墨烯电化学性能的 影响* 侯渊,张邦文,邢瑞光,布林朝克 内蒙古科技大学 材料与冶金学院,内蒙古 包头 014010 摘

要:通过低温还原氧化石墨烯,得到还原氧化石墨烯(RGO),以此为电极材料研究了水系电解液对其电化学性能

的影响。采用 X 射线衍射(XRD)、傅立叶红外转换光谱(FTIR)、场发射扫描电镜(FESEM)及透射电镜(TEM) 对 RGO 进行了表征,利用循环伏安、交流阻抗、恒流充放电等测试了不同水系电解液对电极材料电化学性能的影响。结 果表明,在低温热还原条件下,RGO 氧化官能团有所保留,电化学测试说明保留的氧化官能团对电极材料良好的电化学 性能有所贡献;电极材料在 1 mol/LH2SO4 电解液中的比电容要大于在 1 mol/LNa2SO4 电解液中的比电容。 关键词:水系电解液;低温还原;还原氧化石墨烯;电化学性能

引言 与锂离子电池相比,超级电容器作为当下储能器件研究的热点有着其独特的优势,循环寿命长、功率密 度大等优势表现最为突出,所以,在诸如交通、通信及军事等领域有着广泛的应用[1-3]。超级电容器的结构类 似于电池,由电极、电解质和隔膜等三部分构成。其中,电极是超级电容器最重要的组成部分,而关于电极 研究的核心是电极材料,现在使用的电极材料主要有三大类:碳材料、金属氧化物和导电聚合物[4]。石墨烯 作为当下碳材料家族的明星,其与身俱来的高比表面积、高导电率正在被大量的研究者开发和利用[5-7]。石墨 烯制备的三大类典型的制备方法[8-12]:(1)机械剥离法:获得量少,但易于理论研究。(2)化学气相沉积 法:呈薄膜,面积大。(3)氧化还原法:价廉,可实现量产化。而氧化还原法的优点使得大量的研究倾向 *
