Abstract

© 2022 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.In this study, symmetric supercapacitors in the form of coin cells were produced by using N-doped graphene powders as electrode components. Nitrogen-doped graphene powders were prepared by Yucel's Method with cyclic voltammetry at different potential ranges for selective modification of the powders with functional groups. Electrochemical, spectroscopic, and microscopic characterizations of N-doped graphene powders were carried out. The formation of graphene layers was supported by scanning electron microscopy and Raman analysis. Functional groups formed on the surfaces of N-doped graphene powders were determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Specific capacitances of symmetric supercapacitors prepared with N-doped graphene powders were determined by cyclic charge-discharge tests. The highest specific capacitance, energy and power values were determined as 235.3 F.g−1, 158.2 Wh.kg−1 and 1760 W.kg−1, respectively.
