<p>Developing hybrid electrode materials with different working mechanisms for energy storage applications is crucial to mitigate the worse climate changes. Electrode materials derived from V₂O₅ have gained significant research attention due to highlighted features of high specific capacitance (higher faradaic activity) and stable crystal structure. This study presents cost-effective and facile ex situ fabrication of graphene nanoplatelet (GNP)-supported vanadium oxide (V₂O₅) nanoparticles with much improved electrochemical performance as electrode materials in supercapacitor applications. When tested as electrode materials in supercapacitor applications, the composite (V₂O₅)_0.50(GNPs)_0.50 has superior specific capacitance (990 F g⁻¹) calculated from cyclic coltammetry (CV) at 5 mV s⁻¹ and 800 F g⁻¹ at 2 A g⁻¹ calculated from galvanostatic charging/discharging (GCD) compared to other composites and its constituent’s partners in aqueous alkaline electrolyte (2 M NaOH). The hybrid composites deliver an excellent energy density of 27.7 Wh Kg⁻¹ at a power density of 1800 W Kg⁻¹. Moreover, the resultant hybrid composite demonstrates better electrochemical kinetics and enhanced cyclic performance with maximum capacity retention of 95% after 2000 continuous charge–discharge cycles studied at a higher current rate of 10 Ag⁻¹. The superior electrochemical results demonstrate that the integration of V₂O₅ on GNPs can be an effective strategy for developing high-performance electrodes for future energy storage applications.</p>
