STUDY OF STRUCTURAL AND ELECTROCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF 3-D MICROFLOWER-LIKE NICKEL HYDROXIDE
Recent work reported on nickel hydroxide chemically synthesized by simple cast effective chemical bath deposition method at room temperature. During reaction, nanoflakes developed and time enhance nanoflakes interlinked to form marigold like microflower which reveals from SEM. Structural properties analysis by XRD and FT-IR gives hexagonal crystal structure and presence of Ni-O bond to confirmation of deposition of Ni(OH) material. Highest value of specific 2 -1 capacitance of electrode at deposition time 90 min without aniline from Cyclic voltammetry is 553 Fg at scan rate 10 mV -1 -1 -2 -1 -1 s and from Galvanostatic charge discharge 215 Fg at current density 3 mA cm with 6.04 W h kg and 1687.5 W kg of energy and power density respectively. EIS analysis reveals least charge transfer resistance of 90min deposition time electrode.
