    Ultra-fast chargeable or rechargeable symmetric carbon-based supercapacitors (SCSs) with high capacity, inexpensive, and non-flammability have attracted much attention for electronics and energy storage devices. However, improving both high redox reaction and ion transport/diffusion processes by enhancing high energy storage performance and rapid ion/electron transport SCSs electrode materials remains challenging. Herein, we presented a successful preparation of activated lignite carbons-reduced graphene oxide (ALC-rGO) nanocomposite (NCp) with the ALC:rGO ratio of 80:20 wt% by a one-pot hydrothermal for high electrochemical performance. Importantly, the matrix of ALC-rGO NCp was primary amorphous carbon with hexagonal graphitic layers and pore structures of plentiful micropores and mesopores. Remarkably, the ALC-rGO NCp electrode exhibited a maximum specific capacitance (C<inf>sc</inf>) of 152.12 F/g at 0.5 A/g. Interestingly, the SCSs-ACL-rGO device could illustrate a good performance at a potential voltage of 1.8 V with C<inf>sc</inf> of 50.90 F/g at 1 A/g and capacity retention of 96.0 % at 5 A/g after 2,000 cycles GCD test.

    A CuO–Cu<inf>2</inf>O@rGO nanocomposite (CuO–Cu<inf>2</inf>O@rGO NCP) has been successfully prepared through a seed-mediated growth process. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis results indicated a monoclinic phase of CuO–Cu<inf>2</inf>O@rGO NCP with space group C2/c. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed agglomeration of the CuO and Cu<inf>2</inf>O nanoparticles in the rGO sheet matrix. The interaction of CuO–Cu<inf>2</inf>O@rGO NPC resulted from the aggregation and overlapping of CuO and Cu<inf>2</inf>O nanoparticles owing to the influence of a seed-mediated growth process. The electrochemical properties of the CuO–Cu<inf>2</inf>O@rGO NPC electrode indicate the storage of energy at the surface through a pseudo-capacitive mechanism. The specific capacitance at a current density of 0.5 A g<sup>−1</sup> and the average percentage capacity retention after 1000 cycles of a CuO–Cu<inf>2</inf>O@rGO electrode at a current density of 10 A g<sup>−1</sup> were evaluated as 125.54 F g<sup>−1</sup> and 89.87 ± 3.30%, respectively. In the CuO–Cu<inf>2</inf>O@rGO electrode, the incorporated rGO affects the electrical conductivity and the synergistic interactions in charge–discharge processes. Interestingly, these results showed that the material was synthesized through a seed-mediated growth process and reveal the key factors that determine the combination and volume expansion of the reversible redox transition between Cu<sup>+</sup> and Cu<sup>2+</sup> during charge–discharge processes.

    We report a method to improve the dielectric constant (ε′) of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) composites by using a low content of Ag nanomaterials deposited reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO) Hybrid Particles (Ag-rGO HPs). The Ag-rGO HPs are prepared by a reaction between silver nitrate and ethylene glycol in a seed-mediated growing process. The dispersion of Ag nanomaterials was completely homogeneous on the surface of rGO nanosheets with particle sizes of 5.765 ± 0.189 nm. The Ag-rGO HPs/PVDF composites were produced by a liquid–phase assisted dispersion and hot-pressing methods. The high ε′ at 10<sup>3</sup> Hz for Ag-rGO/PVDF composites with f<inf>Ag-rGO</inf> 7.8, and 11.9 vol% was 153 and 683, respectively. The best-fitting curve was completely achieved in percolation theory by adjusting f<inf>c</inf> = 14 vol%. The high ε′ (683 at 1 kHz) of Ag-rGO/PVDF could be explained by Maxwell Wagnare Sillars interfacial polarization and micro-capacitor due to the formation of a sandwich between Ag-rGO and PVDF.

    Nowadays, the metal oxide-based composites loaded with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nano sheets are believed to enhance both the electrochemical and dielectric properties. In this study, therefore, the effect of rGO loading contents on the calcium aluminate (CA), namely CA@ rGO, cement composites with high dielectric and electrochemical properties is presented. CA@ rGO composites were successfully synthesized via a simple direct mixing of CA cement with various contents of graphene oxide (GO) precursors followed by a conventional thermal reduction method. Based on XRD and Raman spectroscopy results, all prepared CA@ rGO composites clearly confirmed both the structure of the pristine CA cement as well as the complete conversion of GO precursors to rGO after thermal reduction, and the existence of rGO nano sheets on the surface of CA@ rGO composites. The impedance value results revealed that the enhancement of a high dielectric constant was achieved in the CA@ rGO composites due to both typical interface polarization and the micro-capacitor of CA cement and rGO nano sheets. Meanwhile, the prepared CA@ rGO-4 composite electrode exhibited the highest of electrochemical double-layer capacitive behavior with the specific capacitance (C<inf>sc</inf>) value of 79.33 F g<sup>−1</sup> at 0.2 A g<sup>−1</sup>. The enhanced super-capacitive performance of CA@ rGO composite can be improved by the synergistic effect of free electron transfer and electron diffusion between the CA cement interface and rGO nano sheets.

    In this study, the influence of reduced graphene oxide (rGO)−Tricalcium Aluminate Hexahydrate (C3AH6) cement nanocomposites on electrochemical properties was investigated. The rGO-C3AH6 nanocomposite samples with various of rGO laoding, such as, C3AH6_rGO-1, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 20 wt.% were easily synthesized by a rapid cement hydration method. The maximum specific surface area and average pore size diameters were 74.20 m<sup>2</sup>/g and 11.72 nm for C3AH6_rGO-20%. The charge tranfering in C3AH6_rGO nanocomposites was described using band alignments model occurring between C3AH6 and rGO. Interestingly, the increasing of both dielectric property and stability in frequency of C3AH6_rGO composite samples can be explained by the high density of free electron charges on the rGO surface. Moreover, the electrochemical properties of C3AH6_rGO electrodes had excellent capacitive properties displaying the storage charge mechanism of a hybridsupercapacitor behavior. The large rGO content of the C3AH6_rGO nanocomposite capacitor with electrolyte interfaces showed excellent electrochemical performance. The highest value of 80.479 F g <sup>−1</sup> was obtained from C3AH6_rGO-20% at a current density of 0.2 A g <sup>−1</sup> with cycling stability of 96.51% after 1000 cycles.
