Abstract
In this paper, Graphene was exfoliated and doped simultaneously with magnetic metals and their oxide derivatives based on electrochemical method. The electrochemical properties of the as-prepared samples are investigated as advanced electrode materials for supercapacitors which was coated on nickel foam substrate. The structure and composition of the synthesized samples were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and Raman spectroscopy. The morphologies were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge measurments have shown that the behavior of the synthesized material is battery-like. According to the results of the specific capacity at different scan rates of 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70 mV/s in 1 M KOH, the highest capacity related to the scan rate of 5 mV/s, which has a capacity equal to 1124.63 F/g.
