Abstract
In this chapter, multilayer graphene/amorphous carbon composites are synthesized directly by CVD using nickel mesh as the substrate. The composites not only have excellent conductivity and flexibility of graphene, but also have porous feature of amorphous carbon. Since the substrate is woven by nickel microwires, the composites have characteristics of fiber as well. The composites are applied to the field of supercapacitors, obtaining specific capacity of 225 F/g by optimizing the substrate, KOH activation treatment, nitrogen doping, filling MnO2, etc.
