The electrode was prepared without using a binder through a one-step process with three different ratios (NirGO1, NirGO2, and NirGo3). To compare the supercapacitor performance of the obtained graphene foam electrodes, rGO and rGO:carbon black (CB) standard electrodes with PVDF-HFP binder were also prepared. All electrodes were then characterized structurally (XPS, EDS, RAMAN, XRD, and FT-IR) and morphologically (SEM). Structural characterizations demonstrated that the Ni-containing electrodes were in alpha-Ni(OH)2:rGO structure. In addition, NirGO3 exhibited a specific capacitance of 800 F g-1 which is relatively the highest performance between the foam electrodes, while rGO:CB presented a specific capacitance of 900 F g-1. The results demonstrated that with the method proposed for electrode development, it was possible to obtain comparable results with the standard electrode rGO:CB. imageeninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessfoam electrodenickel hydroxideself-templatedsupercapacitorArticle6210.1002/est2.599N/AWOS:0011786900000012-s2.0-85186943865Q3
