Understanding Self-assembly, Colloidal Behavior and Rheological Properties of Graphene Derivatives for High-performance Supercapacitor Fabrication

Abstract

Graphene derivatives, such as graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO), have been widely used as promising two-dimensional nanoscale building blocks due to their fascinating properties, cost-effective production, and good processability. Understanding the intrinsic self-assembling, colloidal, and rheological features of graphene derivatives is of critical importance to establish the formation-structure-property relationship of graphene-based materials. This article reviews recent progresses in our studies of these interesting properties of graphene derivatives for developing high performance supercapacitors. The content is organized to include characteristics of the dispersions o..
