The introduction of nitrogen (N) into graphene is of great focus as it escalates overall device
performance as the introduction of N atoms improves the electronics of the graphene. In this
work, the N-doped graphene electrode was prepared by using hydrothermal method where
graphene nanoplatelet was used as active material and aqueous ammonia as the nitrogen
source. The electrode was then used as the supercapacitor electrode. From Raman analysis,
the ID/IG ratio of N-doped graphene has a higher value than that of pristine graphene. This
indicates the N-doped graphene possessed more defects and has a higher degree of disorder
within the graphene sheet. For X-ray diffraction analysis, the result exhibits a broad peak at
2θ = 26.3o
, corresponding to the graphitic profile with an interlayer spacing of 3.57 Å. X-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy analysis proved that there is a presence of nitrogen on the
graphene surface, with 2.35 % of the atomic concentration. From the cyclic voltammetry, all
curves showed an almost rectangular shape at the scan rates of 10 to 100 mVs-1. The
calculated specific gravimetric capacitance is 25.2 F g-1 at 10 mV s-1. In addition, chargedischarge analysis confirmed the typical behavior of electric double layer capacitor from the
linear symmetric slopes.
