Abstract

Abstract: This paper demonstrates the fabrication of silver nanowires (AgNWs)/graphene oxide stacking structure for enhanced electrochemical performance. In this sandwich-type structure, the stratum of Ag nanowires acts as a highway bridge between the two layers of graphene oxide, where electrons can be transferred easily through this stacked network. The GO-AgNWs showed a specific capacitance of 251 Fg−1 at 10 mV s−1 and an energy density of 34.05 Wh kg−1 at 0.1 mA, indicating the positive synergistic effect of AgNW and GO. The obtained electrochemical characteristics are encouraging and found to be mainly attributed to an effective combination of graphene oxide and AgNWs. Graphical Abstract: Figure shows the steps involved in the development of the sandwich-like AgNW/GO nanostructure electrode. [Figure not available: see fulltext.]
