US 2019/0096592 A1 · COMPOSITE MATERIAL AND ELECTRODE APPLIED WITH COMPOSITE MATERIAL AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

Abstract

A method of manufacturing a composite material is provided. First, graphene oxide and activated carbon are provided individually. Graphene oxide and activated carbon are added into an alcohol to form a mixture. Then, the mixture is heated by microwave in a single step, so that graphene oxide is chemically reduced to form graphene at the active sites of the surface of the activated carbon uniformly, thereby forming a composite material. The embodied composite material is suitable for being the electrodes of the capacitive deionization (CDI) and supercapacitor application.
