Abstract
Hierarchical nanostructured materials consisting of stacked polymer
nanowires forests interconnected by monolayer graphene sheets were
fabricated through bottom-up nanofabrication. Driven by external
voltage, aniline molecules and graphene oxide were alternatively
assembled for hierarchical porous stacked nanostructures while graphene
oxide was in-situ reduced to graphene during the assembly process.
Scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscope results
indicated that monolayer graphene sheets served as the transition nodes
for the neighboring nanowire arrays. As-produced hierarchical
nanostructures were used as supercapacitor electrodes, and
stack-dependent device properties were discovered. In the organic
electrolyte, specific energy density was increased and power density was
maintained as the stack of forests increased at each scan rate. The
specific energy density of as-produced supercapacitors was as high as
137 Wh/Kg while the power density was 1980 W/Kg. Further ana
