Abstract: Graphite nanoplatelets treated with nitric acid of different concentrations were studied. The initial graphite nanoplatelets were prepared by ultrasonication of exfoliated graphite. The samples were examined by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and FTIR and Raman spectroscopy and were tested as electrode materials for supercapacitors.
