Graphene–Cellulose Paper Flexible Supercapacitors

Abstract A simple and scalable method to fabricate graphene‐cellulose paper (GCP) membranes is reported; these membranes exhibit great advantages as freestanding and binder‐free electrodes for flexible supercapacitors. The GCP electrode consists of a unique three‐dimensional interwoven structure of graphene nanosheets and cellulose fibers and has excellent mechanical flexibility, good specific capacitance and power performance, and excellent cyclic stability. The electrical conductivity of the GCP membrane shows high stability with a decrease of only 6% after being bent 1000 times. This flexible GCP electrode has a high capacitance per geometric area of 81 mF cm −2 , which is equivalent to a gravimetric…
