Unique perforated graphene derived from<i>Bougainvillea</i>flowers for high-power supercapacitors: a green approach

Abstract

. The cyclability study results showed excellent stability of synthesized perforated graphene sheets up to 10 000 cycles. Note that the specific and areal capacitance and the energy density of the synthesized PGs are much higher than the earlier reported values. The high supercapacitive performance may be due to high surface area and mesoporosity of PG. The present approach has a good potential to produce cheaper and high surface area PG. These PGs are good candidates as an anode material in the lithium-ion battery.
