▎ 摘  要

The present work highlights the effective H-p interaction between metallocenes ( ferrocene; Fc) and graphene and their stabilization in the presence of polyaniline ( PANI) through pi-pi interactions. The PANI-stabilized Fc@ graphene nanocomposite ( FcGA) resembled an intertwined network-like morphology with high surface area and porosity, which could make it a potential candidate for energy-storage applications. The relative interactions between the components were assessed through theoretical ( DFT) calculations. The specific capacitance calculated from galvanostatic charging/discharging indicated that the PANI-stabilized ter-nary nanocomposite exhibited a maximum specific capacitance of 960 Fg(-) at an energy density of 85 WhKg(-1) and a current density of 1 Ag-. Furthermore, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis confirmed the low internal resistance of the as-prepared nanocomposites, which showed improved charge-transfer properties of graphene after incorporation of Fc and stabilization with PANI. Additionally, all electrodes were found to be stable up to 5000 cycles with a specific capacitance retention of 86%, thus demonstrating the good reversibility and durability of the electrode material.
