Purposes Electrodes based on polypyrrole (PPy) tend to detach from substrates, resulting in poor cycling‑stability. Volume expansion and contraction may occur during intercalation and de‑intercalation of conductive polymers. Accordingly, incorporating other active materials to fabricate composite materials is essential for improving electrochemical performance. Methods In this work, nanoporous gold (NPG) electrodes of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) and PPy were prepared by electrodeposition. Results The prepared CQDS-PPy/NPG exhibit excellent chemical properties owing to the combination of the large specific area of NPG substrate, the active site provided by CQDs, and the excellent electronic conductivity of PPy. Based on these synergistic effects, the CQDs-PPy/NPG composite electrode has a specific capacitance of 792 F/g at a current density of 1 A/g and 90.5% of the specific capacitance is maintained when the number of cycles is increased to 5 000. Conclusions In this study, the combination of CQDs and PPy is explored to prepare supercapacitor electrode materials, which provides an important experimental basis and theoretical reference for the development of advanced energy storage devices.
