▎ 摘  要

Graphene and carbon nanotubes/fibers (CNT/CNF) hybrid structures are emerging as frontier materials for high-efficiency electronics, energy storage, thermoelectric, and sensing applications owing to the utilization of extraordinary electrical and physical properties of both nanocarbon materials. Recent advances show a successful improvement in the structure and surface area of layered graphene by incorporating another dimension and structural form-three-dimensional graphene (3DG). In this study, vertically aligned CNFs were grown using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition on a relatively new form of compressed 3DG. The latter was synthesized using a conventional thermal chemical vapor deposition. The resulting free-standing hybrid material is in-situ N doped during synthesis by ammonia plasma and is produced in the form of a hybrid paper. Characterization of this material was done using electrochemical and spectroscopic measurements. The N doped hybrid showed relatively higher surface area and improved areal current density in electrochemical measurements than compressed pristine 3DG, which makes it a potential candidate for use as an electrode material for supercapacitors, sensors, and electrochemical batteries.
