The porous RGO electrode was characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The as-prepared graphene/Cu nanoparticle composite and the pure graphene film after removal of Cu nanoparticles possessed high conductivity of 3.1 × 103 S m-1 and 436 S m-1 respectively. The porous RGO can be used as the electrode for the fabrication of supercapacitors with high gravimetric specific capacitances up to 146 F g-1, good rate capability and satisfactory electrochemical stability. This environmentally friendly and efficient approach to fabricating porous graphene nanostructures could have enormous potential applications in the field of energy storage and nanotechnology.
