Abstract

The CeO2/rGO composites were prepared by hydrothermal method. The microscopic phase structure and microstructure of the samples were characterized by SEM, XRD and FTIR. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) and constant current charge and discharge tests were used to study the electrochemical stability and cycle ability of the CeO2/rGO composite electrode. The results show that the incorporation of graphene effectively increases the reversibility of CeO2 as an electrode material. The special structure of graphene provides a continuous network and more active sites for redox reactions. In the 6mol/L KOH electrolyte, the specific capacitance of CeO2/rGO composite reached 114F·g-1 when the current density was 0.5A/g. After 1000 cycles, the specific capacitance only decreased by 12.66%, which proves that this material has good cycle performance.
