Abstract

Nanocomposites of graphene and N-doped porous carbon (HPNCs/rGO-800) are prepared via facile carbonization of Zn-metal-organic frameworks (ZIF-8) by controlling appropriate temperature. In comparison with the single N-doped porous carbon (HPNCs-800) which are made from the pure ZIF-8, HPNCs/rGO-800 reduce the agglomeration of ZIF-8 and promote electrical conductivity. In this work, HPNCs/rGO-800 materials exhibit excellent electrochemical performances with a high specific capacitance of 245Fg−1 in 6M KOH electrolyte at a current density of 1Ag−1. Moreover, HPNCs/rGO-800//HPNCs/rGO-800 symmetric supercapacitor reaches a superior energy density of 18.0Whkg−1 at a power density of 475Wkg−1 in the wide voltage region of 0–1.8V, and a superb cycle stability (90% capacitance retention after 10,000 cycles). Such outstanding electrochemical behavior shows that the device is a promising practical energy-storage facility.
