▎ 摘　　要

To date, graphene-based electric double layer supercapacitors have not shown the remarkable specific capacitance as theoretically predicted. An efficient strategy toward boosting the overall capacitance is to endow graphene with pseudocapacitance. Herein, molecules of hydrolyzed polyimide (HPI) are used to functionalize N-doped graphene (NG) via pi-pi interaction and the resulting enhanced electrochemical energy storage is reported. These aromatic molecules in monolayer form on graphene contribute strong pseudocapacitance. Paper-like NG films with different areal mass loadings ranging from 0.5 to 4.8 mg cm(-2) are prepared for supercapacitor electrodes. It is shown that the gravimetric capacitance can be increased by 50-60% after the surface functionalization by HPI molecules. A high specific capacitance of 553 F g(-1) at 5 mV s(-1) is achieved by the HPI-NG film with a graphene mass loading of 0.5 mg cm(-2) in H2SO4 aqueous electrolyte. For the HPI-NG film with highest mass loading, the gravimetric specific capacitance drops to 340 F g(-1) while the areal specific capacitance reaches a high value of 1.7 F cm(-2). HPI-NG films are also tested in Li2SO4 aqueous electrolyte, over an extended voltage window of 1.6 V. High specific energy densities up to 40 Wh kg(-1) are achieved with the Li2SO4 electrolyte.
