Abstract

The graphene oxide/Fe3O4 composites were prepared by in situ precipitation method in this article. The microstructure and surface morphology of composites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrum, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. Cyclic voltammetry was employed for the determination of specific capacitance and other electrochemical performances. It was shown that there was the chemical bonding force between GO and Fe3O4 particles. And the surfaces of GO were wrapped by the Fe3O4 particles precipitated on the surfaces of GO sheets and no impurities were detected. Furthermore, the specific capacitance of GO/Fe3O4 composite electrodes decreased as Fe3O4 particles reduced and the redox peaks became weaker owing to the addition of nonconductive Fe3O4 particles.
