A specific embodiment of the present invention is a process for continuously producing a porous solid film of spacer-modified nano graphene platelets for supercapacitor electrode applications. This process comprises: (a) dissolving a precursor material in a solvent to form a precursor solution and dispersing multiple nano graphene platelets into the solution to form a suspension; (b) continuously delivering and forming the suspension into a layer of solid film composed of precursor material-coated graphene platelets overlapping one another, and removing the solvent from the solid film (e.g., analogous to a paper-making, mat-making, or web-making procedure); (c) continuously converting the precursor material into nodules bonded to surfaces of graphene platelets to form a porous solid film composed of spacer-modified graphene platelets; and (d) continuously collecting the porous solid film on a collector (e.g., a winding roller). The roll of porous solid film (mat, paper, or web) can then be cut into pieces for used as supercapacitor electrodes. |
