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.

This paper presents the influence of the graphene oxide (GO) sheet contents at conditions of 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, and 0.1 wt% on the mechanical and thermal properties of GO/CAST 11 LW mortar (GMT) composites for heat insulating brick. The GMT composites were prepared by a simple mixing method. The structure of GMT composites was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy (Raman) techniques. The small grain sizes of GMT composites were confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The mechanical properties of GMT composites are increased with increasing GO contents. A lot of functional groups in GO such as carboxylic acid reacted with a calcium silicate hydrate, CaH<inf>2</inf>O<inf>4</inf>Si (CSH), calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)<inf>2</inf> (CH) and Ettringite, and Ca<inf>6</inf>[Al(OH)<inf>6</inf>]<inf>2</inf>(SO<inf>4</inf>)<inf>3</inf>·26H<inf>2</inf>O (CA) phases in the mortar, which can be considered good mechanical properties in the GMT composites. The heat insulation values of GMT composites were improved by the interaction with the CSH, CH, and CA phases in the cement mortar on the surface of GO. The highest compressive and tensile strengths and low heat transfer rate of about 0.465 W/min were observed at 0.05 of GO (GMT_0.05) composites in the curing age of 7 days. Thus, a new pathway of GMT composites can be prepared by a simple mixing method to significantly improve the mechanical and thermal properties of mortar GMT composites.

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−1 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−1 were evaluated as 125.54 F g−1 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+ and Cu2+ 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 103 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−1 at 0.2 A g−1. 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.

Nano-sized platinum (Pt) materials deposited on reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO) nanosheets (hybrid Pt-rGO nanoparticle) were prepared by the seed-mediated growing process using 20 wt% of Pt nanomaterials in rGO suspension. Dielectric properties of hybrid Pt-rGO nanoparticles/poly (vinylidene fluoride) nanocomposites (Pt-rGO/PVDF nanocomposites) were synthesized by a liquid–phase assisted dispersion and hot–pressing methods with different volume fractions (f) of hybrid Pt-rGO nanoparticle loading PVDF nanocomposites. The observed particle size of Pt nanomaterials deposits on rGO nanosheets was 5 nm. The dielectric constant (ε′) of Pt-rGO/PVDF nanocomposites was increased with increasing hybrid Pt-rGO nanoparticle. The volume fraction f<inf>Pt-rGO</inf> ≈0.0786 exhibited excellent ε′ ≈ 86 with very low loss tangent (tanδ) ≈ 0.021 at 1 kHz. High dielectric properties of Pt-rGO/PVDF composite should be ascribed to combination of the micro-capacitor and Maxwell–Wagner–Sillars (MWS) effects. Electrochemical properties of speciﬁc capacitances (C<inf>sc</inf>) and capacity retention of hybrid Pt-rGO nanoparticle electrode were investigated by the cyclic voltammetry and the galvanostatic charge-discharge. Interestingly, the hybrid Pt-rGO nanoparticle electrode displayed maximum C<inf>sc</inf> value of 169.8 F g−1 at the current densities of 0.25 A g−1. This was due to the occurrence of various oxygen functional groups in the rGO- and Pt+ ions as contributing to form of pseudo-capacitance in hybrid Pt-rGO nanoparticle.

Influence of annealing process on microstructure, large specific surface area and enhancing electrochemical properties to synthesize reduced graphene oxide (rGO) for the supercapacitor electrode was investigated. Thermal annealing process of rGO (rGO_An) was improved crystallinity and electrical conductivity. BET analysis of rGO_An sample exhibited the occurrence of large mesoporous and macrospores with a huge specific surface area of 672.1 m2/g and an average pore size of 46.2 nm, resulting the rGO_An sample activates more electrodes than rGO sample. Specific capacitance (C<inf>s</inf>) was affected by improving conductivity through annealing process with an excellent cycling stability after 750 cycles for GCD tests of 97.32%, which exhibited the highest value and an average energy density of 412.096 F g−1 and 74.5 Wh kg−1, respectively at 1 A g−1. Thus, annealing process can occur with large mesoporous and macrospores pore improving the electrical conductivity and stability to be applied as an electrode in supercapacitor.

Asymmetric Supercapacitor (ASC) was effectively fabricated using CR 2032-coin cell based on the positive electrode of the hybrid Ag@rGO nanocomposite and the negative electrode of reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO) material with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/6 M KOH electrolyte. The Ag@rGO nanocomposite was prepared through a seed-mediated growing process by a 10 wt% of Ag nanomaterials deposits in suspension rGO 90 wt% which presented a specific capacitance value of 65.9 F g−1 at current density of 0.5 A g−1. Moreover, the rGO electrode with a 5 mg/mL concentration was synthesized by the modified Hummers’ method and revealed a high specific capacitance value of 317.3 F g−1 at current density of 0.5 A g−1. Interestingly, the ASC assembly of Ag@rGO//rGO hybrid energy-storage device provided a wide voltage window of 0.0–1.4 V and showed a specific capacitance (C<inf>sc</inf>) value of 44.17 F g−1 at current density of 3 A g−1. This hybrid energy-storage device indicated specific energy density (E<inf>sp</inf>) of 11.09 W h kg−1 and specific power density (P<inf>sp</inf>) of 2.67 kW kg−1, respectively. It also showed a good cycle stability of 81.5%. The capacitance retention finished at 500 cycles.

The Pristine Mayenite Ca<inf>12</inf>Al<inf>14</inf>O<inf>33</inf> (C12A7) Cement was simply synthesized by using solid-state reaction. The C12A7 and Graphene Oxide (GO) composites (C12A7_GO-x) with various contents of the GO suspension loading (x = 0 wt%, 1 wt%, 2 wt%, 3 wt%, and 4 wt%) were directly prepared by mixing the C12A7 and GO. X-ray diffraction results of pristine C12A7 and all C12A7_GO composites indicated a pure phase corresponding to the standard of C12A7 cement. Raman spectroscopy confirmed the existence of GO in all C12A7_GO samples. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) showed the micrometer grain sizes and the occurrence of grain boundary interfaces for GO incorporation in all C12A7_GO samples. UV–Vis spectroscopy revealed the absorption value of all C12A7_GO samples and red shift near longer wavelengths when increasing the GO concentrations. The dielectric constant of C12A7_GO composites can be explained by the high density of free electron charges for the interfacial polarization on the GO surface. The maximum specific capacitance of C12A7_GO-4 electrode of 21.514 at a current density of 0.2 A g−1 can be attributed to the increase in the electrochemically active surface area for the formation of the electrical double layer capacitors behavior and the effects of high surface area GO connections. Also, the mechanical properties exhibited an increase in Vickers indenter hardness (HV) values with increasing GO contents. The highest HV value was 117.8 HV/2 kg at the C12A7_GO-4 sample. These results showed that the composite materials of the pristine C12A7 cement with GO were highly efficient. All in all, the GO material contained a high potential for enhancing low-cost cement materials in multifunctional properties such as optical, dielectric, electrochemical, and mechanical properties.

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 m2/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 −1 was obtained from C3AH6_rGO-20% at a current density of 0.2 A g −1 with cycling stability of 96.51% after 1000 cycles.
