Zusammenfassung: | Activation parameters such as temperature and the amount of potassium hydroxide (KOH) were varied during the synthesis of activated microwave-exfoliated graphite oxide (a-MEGO) and the effects of these parameters on the specific surface area of a-MEGO and electrochemical capacitance of a-MEGO electrodes were investigated. At 800°C and a KOH/MEGO mass ratio of 6.5, a maximum specific surface area of 3100m2/g was obtained and a high specific capacitance of 172F/g (at 1A/g constant current and 3.5V maximal voltage) was measured in a two-electrode cell with a-MEGO electrodes in an organic electrolyte. |
