Description

Highlights: • Reduced graphene oxide, multiwalled carbon nanotubes and titania composites. • High pyrrolic-N moieties % reduced electrochemical capacitance (EC) quality. • Composite physicochemical properties were modified for better EC functionality. • Surface area control of RGO/MWCNT composites by varying the RGO:MWCNT ratio. • MWCNT/Ti, via sol-gel method, had the best EC quality.
