Abstract

Abstract In this study, we explore the chitosan/nitrogen-doped graphene oxide (CS-NGO) nanocomposite using the hydrothermal method and incorporate it onto carbon paper by a deep coating technique for supercapacitor applications. The incorporation of CS-NGO, a non-toxic and environmentally friendly material, significantly enhances the electrochemical performance. The electrochemical properties are explored by cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD), and impedance spectrum (EIS). The analyses reveal a specific capacitance increase from 2.84 μF cm−2 to 3.96 μF cm−2, a reduction in charge transfer resistance (Rct) from 24.75 Ω to 16.74 Ω, a decrease in Rs resistance from 4.9 Ω to 0 Ω, and a reduction of equivalent series resistance (ESR) from 12.87 Ω to 6.41 Ω. In addition, the results demonstrate remarkable enhancements in energy density and power density and an excellent cyclic stability of 100% over up to 1000 CV cycles of the CS-NGO electrode. These improvements are due to the potential of CS-NGO nanocomposite in developing high-performance, sustainable supercapacitors with the growing demand for green and safe energy storage solutions. This sign of success in this research is due to the new nanocomposite.
