▎ 摘  要

In this paper, we report one-pot fabrication of Fe(3)O(4)nanoparticles electrochemically decorated onto porous graphene nanosheets (PGNs) as high-performance nanocomposite for energy storage applications. In this regard, a novel and facile electrophoretic/electrochemical deposition (EPD/ECD) method was developed for the fabrication of binder-free high performance Fe3O4@PGNs/Ni foam. For comparison, pristine Fe3O4/Ni foam and PGNs/Ni foam electrodes were also fabricated via electrochemical and electrophoretic methods, respectively. The prepared materials were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, FE-SEM, TEM, TGA/DSC and BET techniques. The results confirmed co-deposition of Fe(3)O(4)particles and porous graphene sheets onto the surface of Ni foam. The capabilities of the fabricated electrodes (i.e. Fe3O4/Ni foam, PGNs/Ni foam, Fe3O4@PGNs/Ni foam) were investigated as the binder-free electrodes for supercapacitor applications. The composite electrode showed specific capacitance as high as 892 F g(-1)at the current density of 0.5 A g(-1), where Fe3O4/Ni foam, PGNs/Ni foam electrodes exhibited only 312 F g(-1)and 401 F g(-1), respectively. Furthermore, the rate capability of the Fe3O4@PGNs/Ni foam electrode was found to be 73.2% as the current density increased to 10 A g(-1), which was much higher than those of both pure Fe3O4/NF and PGNs/NF electrodes (i.e. 40% and 59%, respectively). In addition, the cycling stabilities of the composite electrode were measured to be 95.2% and 87.6% after 4000 successive charge/discharge cycles at the current densities of 2 and 5 A g(-1), where the pristine Fe3O4/Ni foam exhibited capacity retentions of 81% and 67% at the current loads of 2 and 5 A g(-1), respectively. The obtained results confirmed an outstanding performance of the fabricated Fe3O4@PGNs composite electrode as compared with single-component electrodes (i.e. Fe3O4/Ni foam, PGNs/Ni foam). These findings implicated the positive synergistic effects between Fe(3)O(4)and porous graphene nanosheets to exhibit high supercapacitive performance.
