▎ 摘  要

We report on DFT and MD simulations to investigate the contributions of quantum and double-layer capacitances in the total differential capacitance of functionalized graphene as the electrode material of aqueous-based supercapacitors. We consider the effects of nitrogen and oxygen incorporation in graphene quantum and double capacitance in four different supercapacitor models in the presence of aqueous electrolytes LiSO4 and LiTFSI. We found that the total differential capacitance is limited by the double-layer capacitance. Our best electrode/electrolyte model was obtained with a symmetric supercapacitor assembled with epoxy/hydroxyl-functionalized graphene electrodes filled with 1 M LiSO4 electrolyte. It achieved a higher double-layer capacitance among all investigated systems over the entire potential window, thus offering better performance in energy storage.
