AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

If the amount of conductive agent is too large, the electrode capacity will decrease accordingly, and the cost of the supercapacitor will increase; if the amount of conductive agent is too small, it is not conducive to the reduction of the internal resistance of the supercapacitor
In actual production, the amount of activated carbon and conductive agent has a great influence on the performance of supercapacitors, but in the process of developing supercapacitors, it is difficult to accurately grasp the amount, and it takes a long time to explore

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of composite materials, and in particular relates to a graphene / activated carbon composite material and a preparation method thereof, and also relates to the application of the material in supercapacitors. Background technique [0002] Due to its high power density, long service life, fast charging speed, maintenance-free and environmental protection, supercapacitors have broad application prospects in national defense, aerospace, automotive industry, consumer electronics, communications and other fields. [0003] Traditional supercapacitor electrodes use activated carbon as raw material. Activated carbon has a high specific surface area (1000m 2 / g~3000m 2 / g) and suitable pore capacity, so that its specific capacitance can reach 100F / g~300F / g, so it is widely used as the electrode material of supercapacitor. However, the traditional activated carbon for supercapacitors has low conductivity, so it must b...
