Electronic channel in 3D flowery Co(OH)2/N-doped graphene composites with Enhanced Electrochemistry Performance

Abstract A novel self-assembled flower-like (Co(OH)2)/N-doped graphene composites were prepared using a facile sol-gel process, which shows a high specific capacitance (2276 F g−1 at 1 A g−1) and good capacitance retention rate (83% at 20 A g−1). Moreover, only a 6.5% loss in specific capacitance was observed after more than 2000 cycles (at 10 A g−1). These results suggested that the flowery Co(OH)2 with three-dimensional architectures on N-doped graphene leads to a synergistic performance, which results in enhanced electrochemical performance of the overall system.
