Various types of carbon-based materials have been used as electrode materials for high-performance supercapacitor applications over the years. Graphene is one of the most extensively used carbon-based materials due to its unique properties, which include a high surface area and great conductivity. To take advantage of more of its intriguing features, graphene is customised to make graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide, which have better water dispersibility and are easy to combine with other materials to form binary or even ternary composites. Due to the fact that binary composites cannot meet the requirements of a high-performance supercapacitor, ternary composites have sparked a lot of attention recently. As a result, a variety of ways have been used to create ternary composites for high-performance supercapacitor applications by combining three different types of electroactive materials. The supercapacitive performance of graphene-based ternary composites with various active components, such as conducting polymers, metal oxide, and other carbon-based materials, is the subject of this research. The performance of graphene-based composites as electrodes in supercapacitors has been greatly improved. This article discusses the synthesis, graphene based supercapacitor electrode materials as well as the application of graphene based nanocomposites as supercapacitor application
Environmental remediation projects are becoming increasingly interested in polymers, transition-metal oxides and graphene based nanocomposites as photocatalysts. To increase their effectiveness, they could be adjusted in conjunction with one another. A hierarchically organised nanocomposite of reduced graphene oxide based TiO 2 and copolymer (Aniline and Indole) (rGO/ TiO 2 /P(ANI-co-IN)) , TiO 2 /P(ANI-co-IN) and P(ANI-co-IN) has been synthesized by heterogeneous emulsion polymerization and is used as a catalyst for the degradation of the cationic Rhodamine (RhB) dye. Different analyses were used to characterize the resulting nanocomposites i. e. UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDX), High Resolution Transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), Selected area (electron) diffraction (SAED) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). DRS results revealed that the rGO/ TiO 2 / P(ANI-co-IN) nanocomposites band gap decreased when compared to TiO 2 /P(ANI-co-IN) and P(ANI-co-IN). Here, rGO/ TiO 2 /P(ANI-co-IN) has outperformed every previous study on polymer/metal oxide/graphene-based ternary nanocomposites, achieving 92 % RhB degradation within 80 min with a degradation rate constant of 0.032 min À 1 . The reusability of rGO/ TiO 2 /P(ANI-co-IN) was run over five cycles which bought in only a small change which could be negligible. Overall, this research may make it easier to synthesise hierarchically organised ternary nanocomposites in the future, which might be used to improve photocatalysis and address environmental protection challenges.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
