Graphene-cellulose tissue composites for high power supercapacitors

Flexible supercapacitors have aroused a great deal of interest for their integration in portable, flexible and wearable electronic devices. In this context, graphene has emerged as an excellent building block for the fabrication of flexible electrodes. However, free-standing graphene films suffer fr...

description Flexible supercapacitors have aroused a great deal of interest for their integration in portable, flexible and wearable electronic devices. In this context, graphene has emerged as an excellent building block for the fabrication of flexible electrodes. However, free-standing graphene films suffer from a certain lack of mechanical resistance, which limits their use. In this paper, we report on the fabrication of free-standing and flexible composites with enhanced robustness, consisting of a graphene layer deposited over a porous cellulose tissue. The coated graphene consists of two types of holey graphene units (i.e. wrinkled graphene sheets and graphene nanoscrolls) that produce closely interconnected and porous 3D graphene architectures. The graphene-tissue composites developed here have a thickness of around 60 µm and areal densities in the 0.6–2.4 mg cm−2 range. These composites have a very open structure that provides easy access to the electrolyte, thereby guaranteeing high ion-transport rates.
