Functionalization of graphene by tetrazine grafting to improve the performance of supercapacitor electrodes
Intermittent power generation and the growing use of mobile electrical devices require efficient energy storage systems, with fast charging, long life and high power density. Supercapacitors, based on the storage of charges on the surface of electrodes, are competitive candidates for applications requiring high power and electrical capacitance, together with and extended cycling stability. The…
