Tuning the hierarchical pore structure of graphene oxide through dual thermal activation for high-performance supercapacitor

Abstract Herein, we introduce a simple method to prepare hierarchical graphene with a tunable pore structure by activating graphene oxide (GO) with a two-step thermal annealing process. First, GO was treated at 600 °C by rapid thermal annealing in air, followed by subsequent thermal annealing in N2....
