▎ 摘  要

A novel approach was developed to prepare hollow polypyrrole (PPy) nanospheres and nitrogen-doped graphene/hollow PPy nanospheres (NG/H-PPy) composites. In this process, uniform poly (methyl methacrylate-butyl methacrylate-methacrylic acid) (PMMA-PBMA-PMAA) latex microspheres as sacrificial templates were synthesized by using an emulsion polymerization method. Then, hollow PPy nanospheres were obtained on the surface of PMMA-PBMA-PMAA microspheres by in situ chemical oxidative polymerization. Finally, H-PPy was embedded in NG layers successfully through a simple approach. The nanobeads have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectra, and Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR). Different electrochemical methods including cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) have been applied to study the electrochemical properties. The specific capacitance of NG/H-PPy composites based on the three-electrode system is as high as 575 F g(-1) at a current density of 1 A g(-1) and enhanced stability about 90.1 % after 500 cycles, indicating that the composite has an impressive capacitance and excellent cycling performance.
