Abstract

In this paper, owing to the electrostatic interaction between graphene and h-BN, a facile liquid phase exfoliation method was carried out to fabricate h-BN/graphene based van der Waals heterostructure nanocomposites without additional chemical cross-linkers. The physicochemical properties of as-prepared composites were characterized by several electron microscopic and spectroscopic measurements. The h-BN/graphene heterostructure composites were employed to use as the anodes of asymmetric supercapacitor, and exhibited exceptional capacitive performance due to their synergistic effects. It is expected that the as-prepared h-BN/graphene materials can boost scalable heterostructure electrodes in supercapacitors, and our liquid phase exfoliation method can be used for the construction of the other energy storage and electronics.

Highlights

  • Graphene, as one of the most important representative of 2D nanomaterials, has been a research hotspot in recent years (Kong et al, 2017)

  • The mixture was stirred to force the exfoliated Hexagonal Boron Nitride (h-BN) nanosheets entering into the graphene layers to form heterostructure through π-π accumulation

  • The morphology and structure of as-prepared graphene were characterized to verify the effectiveness of glycerol/urea liquid phase exfoliation system
