Graphene-doped carbon xerogel combining high electrical conductivity and surface area for optimized aqueous supercapacitors

A graphene doped carbon xerogel was synthesized by simply replacing the water (solvent) by an aqueous well-dispersed graphene oxide stable suspension in the precursor mixture used for the synthesis of the organic xerogel. During the carbonization of the organic xerogel, the graphene oxide sheets are...
