The invention relates to a
supercapacitor flexible self-supporting full-carbon
electrode with
graphene as a binder. The
electrode is composed of two components of a micro-grade
porous carbon materialand the
graphene, and the thickness is 10-200 [mu]m, wherein the ratio of the
porous carbon particle with dimension of 2-10 [mu]m as the active material in the total
electrode mass is 80-95%. The ratio of the
graphene with dimension of 3-15 [mu]m and slice
layer thickness of 1-5 as the binder in the total electrode
mass is 5-20%. The whole electrode has high flexibility and can be directly used asthe electrode of the flexible
supercapacitor. The invention further provides a preparation method of the carbon electrode, wherein the preparation method comprises the steps of dispersing the porouscarbon into graphene
oxide solution, performing
vacuum pumping and filtering on the
mixed solution for forming a film, and finally performing high-temperature
thermal treatment on the
composite film of the
porous carbon and the graphene
oxide through protection of an
inert atmosphere, thereby converting the graphene
oxide to graphene through reduction reaction, thereby obtaining the porous carbonmaterial / graphene flexible self-supporting
composite film electrode. In the electrode, the porous carbon is the active material, and the graphene is used as the binder, a conductive agent and an auxiliary active material. Compared with a traditional electrode forming method in which insulating high-
molecular materials such as PTFE and PVDF are used as the binder, the carbon electrode which is prepared through using the graphene as a multifunctional conductive binder has higher specific capacity and better multiplying
power performance. Furthermore the electrode forming method has advantages ofsimple operation and environment-friendly performance.
