摘要

CuS nanoplatelets arrays grown on graphene nanosheets are successfully synthesized via a facile lowtemperature solvothermal reaction with graphene oxide (GO),CH3CSNH2 and Cu(CH3COO)2.H2O as the reactants.CH3CSNH2 plays an important role in being the reducing agent for GO and the sulfur source of CuS.Supercapacitive performance of the graphene/CuS nanocomposite as active electrode materials has been evaluated by cyclic voltammetry,galvanostatic charge-discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements.The results indicate that graphene/CuS electrode delivers a high capacitance of 497.8 F g-1 at a current density of 0.2 A g-1,which outperforms bare CuS electrode.This excellent performance is ascribed to the short diffusion path and large surface area of the unique hierarchical nanostructure with nanoflakes building blocks for bulk accessibility of faradaic reaction.
