Innovative plasma-assisted synthesis of the next-generation high power density supercapacitor electrodes using graphene oxide feedstock (L2-60139)

Project Leader: Prof. Dr Alenka Vesel (Jozef Stefan Institute)

We will explore the potential of plasma-based deposition of multilayer graphene films for a new generation of high-power-density supercapacitors. Our aim is to investigate the plasma processes and their stability during the synthesis and deposition of such structures, as well as to study suitable material configurations with a high surface-to-volume ratio for the fabrication of laboratory-scale graphene supercapacitor prototypes. We will employ innovative electrolytes and examine their interaction with graphene layers featuring different degrees of functionalization.
