Laser Cutting Coupled with Electro-Exfoliation to Prepare Versatile Planar Graphene Electrodes for Energy Storage

Résumé

The study of planar energy storage devices, characterized by low-cost, high capacity, and satisfactory flexibility, is becoming a valuable research hotspot. Graphene, monolayer sp2 hybrid carbon atoms with a large surface area, always acts as its active component, yet there is a tension between its high conductivity and ease of implementation. Although the difficult-to-assemble graphene can easily achieve planar assemblies in its highly oxidized form (GO), the undesirable conductivity, even after proper reduction, still restricts its further applications. Here, a facile “Top-down” method has been proposed to prepare the graphene planar electrode via in situ electro-exfoliation of graphite supported on a piece of laser-cutting patterned scotch tape. Detailed characterizations have been performed to study its physiochemical property evolution during electro-exfoliation. The obtained flexible graphene planar electrodes show decent energy storage performance, e.g., 40.8 mF cm−2 at a current density of 0.5 mA cm−2 and an 81% capacity retention at a current density of 8 mA cm−2 for the optimized sample G-240. Their high conductivity also makes it possible to couple them with other redox-active materials through electrodeposition to improve their performance, e.g., ferrocene-functionalized mesoporous silica film (Fc-MS), MnO2, and polyaniline (PANI). The highest capacity was achieved with the PANI functionalized sample, which achieved a 22-fold capacity increase. In a word, the versatility, practicality, and adaptability of the protocol to prepare the planar graphene electrode proposed in this work make it a potential candidate to meet the continuously growing energy storage demands.
