Popis: The structural and surface modifications have been studied on the hydrothermally Nitrogen (N) and Sulphur (S) doped and thermally reduced at 350 °C nitrogen-doped, nitrogen-sulfur-doped graphene oxides. Raman spectra confirmed the reduction of graphene oxides by shifts in position and intensity variations of the D and G bands. EDX and mapping images revealed the carbon-oxygen ratio as well as the doping of nitrogen and sulphur into two-dimensional graphene oxide. The electrochemical properties of undoped and doped graphene oxides were investigated using a three-electrode system using a 1 M KOH electrolyte. It shows how doping, and reduction improve current conduction in graphene oxides. The specific capacitance of N,S-rGO after being synthesized and reduced at 350°C was 930 Fg−1 and 1059 Fg−1, respectively, according to cyclic voltammetry results. The N-rGO specific capacitance was found to be similar, with 850 Fg−1 and 891 Fg−1, respectively, for the as prepared and reduced at 350°C. The charge-discharge analysis, cycle stability, and impedances for the applied frequency ranges of undoped and doped graphene oxides for energy storage applications have all been estimated and discussed.
