▎ 摘  要

A simple and low-cost approach toward flexible and free-standing electrodes is developed. Ternary composites of graphene/carbonized paper/tannic acid (GN/CP/TA) with various ratios were fabricated via a facile vacuum-filtration process. Through carbonization of widely used paper, the obtained carbonized paper possessed a good pore structure and an ion transport channel. Tannic acid (TA) can enter into the layers of graphene sheets and prevent graphene sheets from agglomerating by suppressing the - stacking interactions. Different amounts of tannic acid increased the distance between graphene sheets, facilitating the formation of GN/CP/TA composite electrodes without metallic current collectors, binders and additives. The optimal ratio (GN/CP/TA(2)) was determined and the composite electrodes displayed a high area specific capacitance of 530.2 mF cm(-2) with a mass of 2.85 mg cm(-2) (specific capacitance of 186 F g(-1)) at 0.2 mA cm(-2). The composite electrode had good mechanical flexibility (about 82.94% retention in capacitance after 500 bending times) and prominent cycling stability (86.62% retention in capacitance over 10000 cycles). Moreover, the device can achieve a superior energy density of 36.82 W h cm(-2) and a maximum power density of 1372.73 W cm(-2). These results demonstrated that the composite film was a promising electrode material and may be useful for the development of flexible high-performance and wearable energy storage devices. More importantly, this strategy provided a facile method for the fabrication of other types of composite film electrodes.
