Abstract

We report on the preparation of reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) electrodes deposited onto flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) via spray coating technique. The highest capacitance value of the unbent rGO/SWNTs electrode was $82Fg^{-1}$ in 1 M $H_2SO_4$ at $100mVs^{-1}$, which decreased to $38Fg^{-1}$ after 500 bending cycle. Further characterization, including galvanostatic charge/discharge measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), showed that the rGO/SWNTs electrode retained a well-defined capacitive response after repetitive bending cycle. Overall, the rGO/SWNTs composite electrode showed reasonable electrochemical properties even prolonged bending cycle. Approximately 50% of the initial capacitance for the rGO/SWNTs composite electrode is remained after 500 bending cycle, making the electrode a potential option for flexible energy storage applications.

본 연구에서는 유연성을 갖는 전극 제조를 위해 환원된 그래핀 옥사이드/단일벽 탄소나노튜브 복합체를 금이 코팅된 PET 기판 위에 스프레이 코팅하였다. 제조된 플렉시블한 전극의 전기 용량 값은 1 M의 황산 전해질과 $100mVs^{-1}$ 의 주사속도에서 $82Fg^{-1}$ 으로 측정 되었으며, 이 용량 값은 500 번의 굽힘 시험 후에 $38Fg^{-1}$ 로 감소되는 현상을 확인 하였다. 또한, 이러한 결과는 정전류 충방전과 전기화학 임피던스법을 포함한 전기화학적 분석 결과와도 부합하는 결과를 나타내었다. 유연성을 갖는 환원된 그래핀 옥사이드/단일벽 탄소나노튜브 복합체 전극은 500회의 반복적인 굽힘 시험 후에도 대략 50%의 초기 전기 용량 값을 유지 할 수 있었으며, 이러한 여러 가지 전기화학적 특성을 고려하여 볼 때 미래 개발 가능한 플렉시블한 에너지 저장 매체로써의 적용이 가능 하다는 점을 확인 할 수 있었다.
