Three-dimensional lion's mane like AlV3O9 deposited on graphene surface for supercapacitors with a promising electrochemical performance

3D lion's mane like AlV3O9 microspheres deposited on the well-exfoliated graphene were successfully synthesised through a facile solvothermal method where the graphene sheet was prepared solely via the liquid phase exfoliation process. The highly electrical conductive graphene was introduced as...

description 3D lion's mane like AlV3O9 microspheres deposited on the well-exfoliated graphene were successfully synthesised through a facile solvothermal method where the graphene sheet was prepared solely via the liquid phase exfoliation process. The highly electrical conductive graphene was introduced as a conductive substrate or a backbone to support the diffusion of the electrolyte ions (OH−). In order to achieve the optimum electrochemical performance, graphene/AlV3O9 nanocomposites with different weight ratios were fabricated wherein G-5AlV possessed an exceptional charge storage ability which surpasses that of other nanocomposites. The G-5AlV sample was found to possess a magnificent specific capacitance of 551.72 F∙g−1 at 0.5 A∙g−1 and achieve a remaining capacitance of 468.97 F∙g−1 as the current density was increased. After 5000 continuous intercalation/de-intercalation processes, G-5AlV delivered a specific capacitance of 441.38 F∙g−1 and a coulombic efficiency of 95%, confirming its remarkable cycling stability and coulombic efficiency. More importantly, it exhibits good energy and power densities as a symmetric supercapacitor, further suggesting itself as a potential candidate for use in high-performance charge storage devices.
