Aniline was chemically bonded to the surface of graphene oxide (GO) via a nucleophilic ring-opening reaction. The aniline-bonded GO then reduced (RGO) in presence multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), which could prevent RGO from aggregating. aniline further responsible for grafting polyaniline (PANI) onto chemical oxidative polymerization aniline, and resultant PANI-RGO/MWCNT ternary nanocomposite be used as supercapacitor electrode with high performance.
