Unravelling the pseudocapacitive origin of graphene oxide-based aerogels by comparative insights

We reveal the intrinsic pseudocapacitive center of graphene-oxide-based aerogels by investigating different modified graphene skeletons from various approaches. A high proportion of carbonyl groups in carbon networks is shown to optimize the construction of rational pseudocapacitive sites by triggering reversible proton-induced surface reactions, leading to satisfactory electrochemical performance.
