Preparation of transition metal oxide mixed graphene electrode materials and its application in supercapacitors

Abstract

The increasing prevalence  of wearable electronic devices in contemporary society has led to heightened expectations for energy storage devices. These expectations encompass not only high power density and energy density, but also robust stability and resistance to bending. Consequently, the design and development of supercapacitors with versatile functionalities has emerged as a prominent area of research. The electrode material, which is one of the elements that can have the biggest impact on the operation of supercapacitors, has been the subject of numerous scientific advancements over the years. One promising approach is the combination of transition metal oxide and graphene material composite. By conducting a comprehensive review of relevant literature, this study synthesizes preparation methods from multiple sources, integrates the benefits of multiple technologies to develop a novel preparation method utilizing ultrasonic shock and the two-step interface self-assembly method, and compares the physical and chemical properties of different transition metal oxide mixed graphene electrode materials and their application in supercapacitors. In conclusion, the preparation methods of transition metal oxide mixed graphene electrode materials typically control their microscopic morphology in order to support structure, agglomeration, and spalling reduction, thereby enhancing the specific capacitance and cycle stability of supercapacitors and achieving the desired result of increasing specific surface area and support structure.
