Supercapacitors with porous carbon structures have high energy storage capacity. However, the nature of electrode, composed mainly nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene oxide (GO) derivatives, negatively impacts volumetric electrochemical characteristics supercapacitors because poor packing density (<0.5 g cm(-3)).

As memory materials, two-dimensional (2D) carbon materials such as graphene oxide (GO)-based have attracted attention due to a variety of advantageous attributes, including their solution-processability and potential for highly scalable device fabrication transistor-based cross-bar arrays. In spite this, the use GO-based has been limited, primarily uncontrollable oxygen functional groups. To induce stable effect by ionic charges negatively charged carboxylic acid group partially reduced...
