▎ 摘  要

A magnetic graphene composite derived from stage-1 FeCl3-graphite intercalation compounds was thermally treated for up to 75 min at 400 degrees C or for 2 min at high temperatures up to 900 degrees. These heat-treatments of the magnetic graphene composite gave rise to the cubical expansion of graphene with the enlargement of inter-graphene distances. The specific capacitance of the magnetic graphene composite increased upon heating and reached 42 F g(-1) at a scan rate of 5 mV s(-1) in 1.0 M NaCl, after being treated for 2 min at 900 degrees C. This value corresponds to 840% increase in the capacitance activity superior to that (5 F g(-1)) of the pristine magnetic graphene composite before heat-treatment. This capacitance enhancement can play a significant role in the increase of the surface area that reached 17.2 m(2) g(-1) during the non-defective inter-graphene exfoliation. Moreover, the magnetic graphene composite heated at 900 degrees C was hybridized with polyaniline by in situ polymerization of aniline to reach a specific capacitance of 253 F g(-1) at 5 mV s(-1). The current procedure of heat-treatment and hybridization with a conductive polymer can be an effective method for attaining a well-expanded magnetic graphene composite possessing an enhanced electrochemical activity with a relatively high energy density (141 W h kg(-1) in 1.0 M NaCl) and an excellent stability (99% after 9000 cycles of 20 A g(-1)).
