In the present work Mn3O4/reduced graphene oxide hydrogel （Mn3O4-rGOH） with three dimensional （3D） networks was fabricated by a hydrothermal self-assembly route. The morphology, composition, and microstructure of the as-obtained samples were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction （XRD）, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）, thermogravimetry analysis （TG）, atomic absorption spectrometry （AAS）, field emission scanning electron microscopy （FESEM） and transmission electron microscope （TEM）. Moreover, the electrochemical behaviors were evaluated by cyclic voltammogram （CV）, galvanostatic charge-discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS）. The test results indicated that the hydrogel with 6.9% Mn3O4 achieved specific capacitance of 148 F.g^-1 at a specific current of 1 A.g^-1, and showed excellent cycling stabilily with no decay after 1200 cycles. In addition, its specific capacitance could retain 70% even at 20 A.g^- 1 in comparison with that at 1 A.g ^-1 and the operating window was up to 1.8 V in a neutral electrolyte.

In this work, Al-substituted a-Co（OH）2/GO composites with supercapacitive properties were prepared by chemical co-precipitated method in which cobalt nitrate and aluminum nitrate were used as the raw material, and graphite oxide was employed as carrier. The as-prepared materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, field emission scanning electron microscopy （FESEM） and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FF-IR）. Cyclic voltammetry （CV） and galvanostatic charge/discharge measurements showed that the Al-substituted a-Co（OH）2/GO electrode material had excellent electrochemical capacitance. The specific capacitance of 1137 F·g-11 was achieved in 6 mol/L KOH solution at a current density of 1 A·g-1 within a potential range of 0-0.5 V. Moreover, only 12% losses of the initial specific capacitance were found after 500 cycles at a current density of 1 A·g-1.
