Hierarchical Ni(OH)2-MnO2 Array as Supercapacitor Electrode with High Capacity

Nanoarray electrodes with highly capacitive materials and specific architectures are hopeful to realize advanced supercapacitor performance. The nickel foam (NF) supported hierarchical nanosheet array electrode is fabricated through a template route toward excellent capacitive supercapacitor. The hierarchical nanosheet array weaved with Ni(OH)(2)-MnO2 nanowires provides multiple advantages for porous feature, high surface area, and fast charge transfer. The neighbored Ni(OH)(2)-MnO2 supplies lattice fringes distortion as additional active sites as well as synergism, for improved capacitive performances. As expected, the Ni(OH)(2)-MnO2/NF electrode manifests high specific capacitance of 14.7 F cm(-2) at 2.5 mA cm(-2) and good cyclic stability, making it hopeful for highly capacitive supercapacitor application.
