The pseudocapacitive materials, like spinel NiCo2O4 (NCO), that use Faradaic reactions to store charge have been widespread paid attention for supercapacitors application. So, it is a basic fundamental guideline that the preparation of higher-performance pseudocapacitive materials depends on achieving and accelerating more Faradaic reactions in the aspect of electrodes. In this work, based on the mentioned principle, we report a facile method that could significantly promote the capacity of NiCo2O4 nanoelectrode through annealing precursor nanowires (NWs) in different volume ratios of N-2 and O-2 condition. The pristine NCO (V-N2: V-O2 = 0: 1) only exhibited inferior performance with a specific capacitance of 0.88 F cm(-2) (338.5 F g(-1) at 2mA cm(-2)) and capacitive retention of 54% from 2 to 30mA cm(-2). While, for a comparison, the highest comprehensive performance of NCO-9 (V-N2: V-O2 = 9: 1) electrodes delivered superior specific capacitance of 3.8 F cm(-2) (1461 F g(-1) at 2mA cm(-2)), excellent rate retention of 77% and good cycling stability. These boosted pseudocapacitive properties both in capacity and rate capability are attributed to the severe oxygen vacancy defects introduced in nitrided NCO NWs. The involving richness-enabled oxygen defects significantly enhance the electron/ions transportation, and then efficiently alter the well-known capacitive surfacial reaction into bulk pattern in the charge-discharge cycles. This dramatically increased electron/ions kinetics and electrochemical cites for Faradaic reactions. These results provide a deep insight into correlating oxygen vacancies induced structural and chemical evolution on enhanced capacitive performances of redox-active-NiCo2O4 materials.
