Porous Ni(OH)(2) nanoflakes are directly grown on the surface of nickel foam supported Ni3Se2 nanowire arrays using an in situ growth procedure to form 3D Ni3Se2@Ni(OH)(2) hybrid material. Owing to good conductivity of Ni3Se2, high specific capacitance of Ni(OH)(2) and its unique architecture, the obtained Ni3Se2@Ni(OH)(2) exhibits a high specific capacitance of 1689 mu Ah cm(-2) (281.5 mAh g(-1)) at a discharge current of 3 mA cm(-2) and a superior rate capability. Both the high energy density of 59.47 Wh kg(-1) at a power density of 100.54 W kg(-1) and remarkable cycling stability with only a 16.4% capacity loss after 10 000 cycles are demonstrated in an asymmetric supercapacitor cell comprising Ni3Se2@Ni(OH)(2) as a positive electrode and activated carbon as a negative electrode. Furthermore, the cell achieved a high energy density of 50.9 Wh L-1 at a power density of 83.62 W L-1 in combination with an extraordinary coulombic efficiency of 97% and an energy efficiency of 88.36% at 5 mA cm(-2) when activated carbon is replaced by metal hydride from a commercial NiMH battery. Excellent electrochemical performance indicates that Ni3Se2@Ni(OH)(2) composite can become a promising electrode material for energy storage applications.
