Effect of voltage applied for graphene oxide/latex nanocomposites produced via electrochemical exfoliation and its application as conductive electrodes

An electrochemical exfoliation method adopted in this study presents the variations quality of GO produced under different applied voltages. The GOs production was characterized using FESEM, AFM, micro-Raman, FT-IR, and UV–Vis spectroscopies. Further characterizations were done using I-V, C-V, mechanical, and TGA analysis. As evident, GOs at 10 V shows the highest quality and several thin GO layers produced with moderate crystallinity of 0.91. In this study, GOs filled in the nanocomposites synthesized at 5 to 10 V shows higher electrical conductivity and acceptable capacitance performance at approximate ~×10−5 to ×10−7 S cm−1 and up to 2.5–103 F g−1, respectively. These thin films paved the way and great potential to be implemented as flexible electrodes materials in supercapacitor application.
