    Composite electrode material was formed by mixing reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and zinc oxide (ZnO) compound, using the Hummers and green synthesis methods, respectively. Of rGO powder, 10 g was mixed with 10%, 20% and 30% ZnO, and composite electrodes were obtained by using 10% binder. The energy storage performance and structural characteristics of the supercapacitor were evaluated by analyzing the capacitance values of the synthesized electrodes. The structural characterization of ZnO/rGO composites was performed using X-ray diffraction and field-emission scanning electron microscopy. The electrochemical properties of the ZnO/GO electrodes were analyzed by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance and galvanostatic charge -discharge tests. The specific capacitance value of electrodes increased as zinc content increased in the ZnO/ rGO composite material used to produce electrodes. The maximum specific capacitance values were measured at 5 mV/s scanning rate as 194.23 (rGO), 366.81 (10% ZnO), 383.18 (20% ZnO) and 410.48 F/g (30% ZnO). In conclusion, the use of composite material formed by the combination of ZnO nanoparticles obtained by green synthesis method from orange peel and graphene oxide increased the electrochemical efficiency of the supercapacitor.
