Keywords:
Graphene, kitchen blender method, Mechanical exfoliation, energy storage, Supercapacitors.Abstract
Facile and single step preparation of few layer graphene (FLG) by mechanical exploitation kitchen blender method. The obtained few layered graphene was characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM, HR-TEM. The morphology images of SEM and HR-TEM was high-quality and defects free. The electrochemical measurements of cyclic voltammetry (CV) revealed that Electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC). The charge discharge measurements from specific capacitance was calculated (Csp) – 33 F/g at current density 1 A/g. The Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) performed was charge transfer resistance (Rct) value for 8.57 ohm. Few layer graphene was obtained from simple kitchen method. This method active material for supercapacitors applications were observed in first time reported. The kitchen blender mechanical exfoliation techniques shows to great promising future industrial-scale synthesis of high-quality defect free graphene for energy storage device applications.
