▎ 摘  要

This study compares supercapacitors with reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-carbon black (CB) and CB nano composite coated carbon cloth electrodes. We use a nitrogen DC-pulse atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) to process the electrodes. The APPJ processing time is < 40 s. Nitrogen APPJ burns off organic binders to create nanoporous structures. Replacing part of the CB with rGO nano-flakes can increase the overall surface area to improve the supercapacitive performance. Specifically, by replacing 50 wt% of CBs with rGOs, the specific (areal) capacitance can be improved from 91.84 F.g(-1) (19.74 mF/cm(2)) to 162.68 F.g(-1) (29.16 mF/cm(2)), respectively, with 20 s APPJ processing time, as evaluated by cyclic voltammetry under a potential scan rate of 2 mV.s(-1). The nitrogen DC-pulse APPJ is demonstrated to be an ultrafast and highly economical tool for efficiently processing nanocomposite electrodes of supercapacitors.
