In the present study, the synthesis of CoWO4 (CWO)–Ni nanocomposites was conducted using a wet chemical method. The crystalline phases and morphologies of the Ni nanoparticles, CWO, and CWO–Ni composites were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX). The electrochemical properties of CWO and CWO–Ni composite electrode materials were assessed by cyclic voltammetry (CV), and galvanostatic charge–discharge (GCD) tests using KOH as a supporting electrolyte. Among the CWO–Ni composites containing different amounts of Ni1, Ni2, and Ni3, CWO–Ni3 exhibited the highest specific capacitance of 271 F g−1 at 1 A g−1, which was greater than that of bare CWO (128 F g−1). Moreover, the CWO–Ni3 composite electrode material displayed excellent reversible cyclic stability and maintained 86.4% of its initial capacitance after 1500 discharge cycles. The results obtained herein demonstrate that the prepared CWO–Ni3 nanocomposite is a promising electrode candidate for supercapacitor applications.

One Step

NiCo2O4 nanoneedles on the surface of Ni foam were grown by a simple one step hydrothermal method, which is used as the working electrode for asymmetric supercapacitors. Its area specific capacitance is 981.64 C cm–2 at 1 mA cm–2, and the cycling stability can reach 100% after 10000 cycles at 4 mA cm–2. The spatial structure of the nanoneedle has important influence on the cyclic stability of NiCo2O4 electrode. The hybrid supercapacitors are prepared on the basis of the prepared NiCo2O4 nanoneedle electrodes. After 8000 cycles, its cycle life is stable and the capacitance retention rate reaches 100%.
