▎ 摘  要

Here we describe a facile and scalable method for preparing defect-free graphene sheets exfoliated from graphite using the positively charged polyelectrolyte precursor poly(p-phenylenevinylene) (PPV-pre) as a stabilizer in an aqueous solution. The graphene exfoliated by PPV-pre was apparently stabilized in the solution as a form of graphene/PPV-pre (denoted to GPPV-pre), which remains in a homogeneous dispersion over a year. The thickness values of 300 selected 76% GPPV-pre flakes ranged from 1 to 10 nm, corresponding to between one and a few layers of graphene in the lateral dimensions of 1 to 2 mu m. Furthermore, this approach was expected to yield a marked decrease in the density of defects in the. electronic conjugation of graphene compared to that of graphene oxide (GO) obtained by Hummers' method. The positively charged GPPV-pre was employed to fabricate a poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) electrode layer-by layer with negatively charged GO, yielding (GPPV-pre/GO)(n) film electrode. The PPV-pre and GO in the (GPPV-pre/GO)(n) films were simultaneously converted using hydroiodic acid vapor to fully conjugated PPV and reduced graphene oxide (RGO), respectively. The electrical conductivity of (GPPV/RGO)(23) multilayer films was 483 S/cm, about three times greater than that of the (PPV/RGO)(23) multilayer films (166 S/cm) comprising RGO (prepared by Hummers method). Furthermore, the superior electrical properties of GPPV were made evident, when comparing the capacitive performances of two supercapacitor systems; (polyaniline PANi/RGO)(30)/(GPPV/RGO)(23)/PET (volumetric capacitance = 216 F/cm(3); energy density = 19 mWh/cm(3); maximum power density = 498 W/cm(3)) and (PANi/RGO)(30)/(PPV/RGO)(23)/PET (152 F/cm(3); 9 mWh/cm(3); 80 W/cm(3)).
