Graphene covalently functionalized with 2,6-diaminoanthraquinone (DQ) as a high performance electrode material for supercapacitors

2,6-Diaminoaquinone molecules were covalently modified onto the surface of GO via a nucleophilic displacement reaction between the epoxy groups on the surface of GO and the –NH₂ groups of DQ molecules in the presence of ammonia to form a composite material.
