Graphene oxide, an intermediate during graphene synthesis by a modified Hummers's method, exhibits higher capacitance, up to 189 F g(-1), than graphene due to an additional pseudo-capacitance effect of attached oxygen-containing functional groups on its basal planes. Taking its higher capacitance, lower cost and shorter processing time into consideration, graphene oxide may be a better choice than graphene as an electrode material for supercapacitors.
