Abstract

Laser-induced graphene (LIG) has been emerging as a promising electrode material for supercapacitors due to its cost-effective and straightforward fabrication approach. However, LIG-based supercapacitors still face challenges with limited capacitance and stability. To overcome these limitations, in this work, we present a novel, cost-effective, and facile fabrication approach by integrating LIG materials with candle-soot nanoparticles. The composite electrode is fabricated by laser irradiation on a Kapton sheet to generate LIG material, followed by spray-coating with candle-soot nanoparticles and annealing. Materials characterization reveals that the annealing process enables a robust connection between the nanoparticles and the LIG materials and enhances nanoparticle graphitization. The prepared supercapacitor yields a maximum specific capacitance of 15.1 mF/cm² at 0.1 mA/cm², with a maximum energy density of 2.1 μWh/cm² and a power density of 50 μW/cm². Notably, the synergistic activity of candle soot and LIG surpasses the performances of previously reported LIG-based supercapacitors. Furthermore, the cyclic stability of the device demonstrates excellent capacitance retention of 80% and Coulombic efficiency of 100% over 10000 cycles.
