DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Preparation of graphene/manganese dioxide electrode involves mixing manganese sulfate, phosphorus pentoxide, ferric chloride, sodium nitrate and graphite in a mass ratio of 1:1:1:0.5:1 to obtain mixture, mixing the mixture with 95-98% concentrated sulfuric acid at 70-90 degrees C to obtain mixed solution, magnetically stirring, reacting for 20-60 minutes to obtain pre-oxidized graphite suspension, placing the pre-oxidized graphite suspension in an ice-water bath at below 10 degrees C, magnetically stirring, adding potassium permanganate and potassium manganate, completely dissolving the solid, removing the ice-water bath to obtain reactant, reacting the reactant at 180-220 degrees C for 5-10 hours, cooling to room temperature, heating at 60-90 degrees C, adding deionized water, magnetically stirring, reacting for 15-60 minutes to obtain reaction solution, filtering the reaction solution, washing with hydrochloric acid mixture and deionized water to obtain solid, drying the solid at 80-120 degrees C for 1-3 hours, thermally processing the dried solid at 350-450 degrees C for 6-10 hours under argon atmosphere to obtain graphene/manganese dioxide composite solid powder, uniformly loading manganese dioxide nanoparticles on graphene layers, cooling the graphene/manganese dioxide composite solid powder to room temperature, mixing with polyvinylidene fluoride in a mass ratio of 95:5 to obtain mixture, adding N-methylpyrrolidone to the mixture, stirring at 50-70 rpm to form suspension, soaking foamed nickel in the suspension for 20-40 hours, taking the foamed nickel from the liquid, drying in a vacuum furnace at 80-100 degrees C for 5-10 hours, cooling to room temperature under vacuum to obtain foamed nickel electrode and immersing the foamed nickel electrode in 1 mol/l sodium sulfate solution for 20-40 hours. The amount of concentrated sulfuric acid is 10-30 times the mass of graphite. The amount of potassium permanganate is 15-30 times the mass of graphite. The amount of potassium manganate is 5-10 times the mass of graphite. The amount of deionized water is 200-300 times the mass of graphite. The graphene/manganese dioxide composite is composite of graphene and manganese dioxide nanoparticles with diameter of 10-20 nm. The amount of N-methylpyrrolidone is 200-300 times the mass of the graphene/manganese dioxide composite solid powder.
