Abstract

The invention provides supermolecule hybridized hydrogel, graphene aerogel, preparation methods and application of the two. The hydrogel has a three-dimension network structure, and is obtained by assembling ferrocene-amino acid gel factor and oxidized graphene through a noncovalent bond. The supermolecule hybridized hydrogel has a high-intensity and stable current signal and good electrical properties, and is applicable to fields of trace detection devices and biosensors. The graphene aerogel is obtained by utilizing the above supermolecule hybridized hydrogel through an in-situ synthetic method, and comprises a Fe3O4 nanoparticle and nitrogen-doped three-dimension graphene. The provided Fe3O4/nitrogen-doped graphene aerogel has substantial electrocatalytic effect on oxygen reduction reactions, and has the catalytic current density up to 3 mA*cm<-2>, and the synthetic method is simple and low in cost, and is capable of providing powerful guidance for fuel cell production technologies.
