A new type of composite supercapacitive
material was developed by applying graphene
nanoplatelets to non-woven carbon fiber (CNW) reinforced
with polyvinyl butyral (PVB). Basic mechanical
resistance of the graphene-reinforced material was
examined through the tensile test. The capacitive
properties of the resulting CNW/PVB/graphene composite
were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and
electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques in
three electrode system, with performance compared to
those of neat carbon non-woven and PVB-reinforced carbon
non-woven fabrics. The specific capacitances of carbon
mat, carbon mat/PVB and carbon mat/PVB/graphene,
obtained from CV response registered at 50 mVs-1,
were 1.30 x 10-4, 3.00 x 10-4 and
3.33 x 10-4 F cm-2, respectively.
Beyond capacitance magnitude, the graphene-modified
composite also exhibited a more ideal rectangular CV
shape with suppressed faradaic activity and presented a
steeper low-frequency slope in Nyquist plots, indicative
of improved ion diffusion kinetics and overall rate
capability. These findings position the developed
graphene/PVB/CNW composite as a promising, flexible
electrode material for supercapacitor applications.
