A novel solid-state method has been developed for synthesizing nickel oxide (NiO)/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) composite using an ionic liquid (IL, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride) as the reaction medium. Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorbance spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy (IR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were employed to investigate the structure, morphology, and formation mechanism of the synthesized sample. The results demonstrated that the IL is effective for dispersing CNTs, which allows the tethering of nickel (II) ions onto the surfaces of the CNTs and facilitates the subsequent chemical deposition of NiO to obtain the NiO/CNTs composite. The electrochemical properties of the composite were determined using cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge/discharge measurements in 6 M KOH. Because of its unique structure, the prepared NiO/CNTs electrode exhibited good capacitive behavior and cyclability. The high specific capacitance (521 F g−1) and good rate capability (91% capacity retention at 0.5 A g−1) of the NiO/CNTs composite enable its use as a practical supercapacitor electrode material.

A homogeneous Ni (OH)2/ carbon nanotubes (CNTs) nanocomposite with excellent supercapacitive performance has been synthesized via a facile chemical precipitation. The microstructure and morphology of Ni (OH)2/CNTs nanocomposite were investigated by XRD, SEM and TEM. It presented an ideal morphology with the nanosized Ni (OH)2 particles homogeneously growing on the CNTs. The electrochemical performance of the Ni (OH)2/CNTs nanocomposite was test by cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge−discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques. The synthesized Ni (OH)2/CNTs nanocomposite shows superior electrochemical performance, including high capacitance, excellent rate capability and good cycle life. The homogeneous Ni (OH)2/ CNTs nanocomposite exhibited a high specific capacitance of 1741 F g-1 at a current density of 1A g-1 and maintained a good stability after 5000 cycles at 10A g-1`, suggesting that it can be a promising candidate for supercapacitor.

A homogeneous Ni (OH)2/graphene nanosheet (GNS) nanocomposite with excellent supercapacitive performance has been synthesized by a facile chemical precipitation. The Ni (OH)2/GNS nanocomposite presented an ideal morphology with the nanosized Ni (OH)2 particles homogeneously growing on the GNS. Its microstructure, morphology were investigated by XRD, SEM and TEM. The electrochemical performance of the Ni (OH)2/GNS nanocomposite was test by cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge−discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques. The homogeneous Ni (OH)2/GNS nanocomposite exhibited a high specific capacitance of 1667 F/g at a current density of 1A/g and maintained a good stability in 5000 cycles, suggesting that it can be a promising candidate for supercapacitor. The high specific capacitance and remarkable rate capability are promising for applications in supercapacitors with both high energy and power densities. The Ni (OH)2/GNS nanocomposite exhibited large specific capacitance, high rate capability and good cycling stability.

Biochar is a byproduct generated from the hydrothermal liquefaction of biomass, such as corn stover, in an anaerobic environment. This work aims to convert biochar into a value-added product of carbon nanofibrous felt. First, the biochar-containing precursor membrane was prepared from simultaneous electrospinning and electrospraying. After thermal stabilization in air and carbonization in argon, the obtained precursor membrane was converted into a mechanically flexible and robust carbon nanofibrous felt. Electrochemical results revealed that the biochar-derived carbon nanofibrous felt might be a good candidate as a supercapacitor electrode with a good rate capability and high kinetic performance.

Abstract Well defined NiSe@ZnSe composite electrode is synthesized along with Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) surfactant whose redox behavior is an interesting approach towards the boosting performance of the supercapacitor. The as-prepared samples were examined through standard characterization techniques. High crystallinity suggests that prepared composite NiSe@ZnSe is well appropriate for the application concerning the supercapacitor electrode material. The Raman spectroscopy identifies the functional group, vibrations, stretching of bonds and presence of defects in the samples. The surface to volume ratio of the loosely packed grass-like structures result in availability of more surface area for the electrolyte which lead to the enhanced reaction rates. As-prepared active synthesized product revealed 442 Fg-1 electrochemical capacitance at 1 Ag-1 with 99.3% high rate capability at 10 Ag-1 after 2000 cycles. Besides, notably capacity retention of the sandwiched asymmetric NiSe@ZnSe//AC device maintains 99.48% after constant charge discharge 2000 cycles displays outstanding electrochemical stability.
