Graphene hydrogels have been successfully prepared by a simple and fast microwave digestion through reducing graphene oxide, and used as the electrode materials for supercapacitors. The morphology, structure and components of the graphene hydrogel are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The electrochemical performances of the graphene hydrogel are evaluated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in 6 M KOH electrolyte. The results show that the graphene hydrogels possess well-defined and interconnected 3D porous networks and exhibits excellent electrochemical performance for supercapacitors. Particularly, the MGH-10 prepared by microwave digestion within 10 mins shows the highest specific capacitance. The MGH-10 electrode owns specific capacitance as high as 204 F g-1 at the scan rate of 2 mv s-1, which is higher than Hydrothermal method. Furthermore, the MGH-10 supercapacitor delivers high energy densities of 6.8 W h kg-1 and 5.9 W h kg-1 at the power density of 1000 W kg-1 and 5000 W kg-1, respectively.
