Nanoflakes β-Ni(OH)2microspheres were successfully synthesized by a facile hydrothermal. The microstructures and morphology were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Electrochemical properties studies were carried out using cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostaitc charge/discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy methods, respectively. The results exhibited that the β-Ni(OH)2single electrode had high specific capacitance in KOH electrolyte. A maximum specific capacitance of 1929 F/g could be achieved in 6 M aqueous KOH with 0 to 0.4 V potential at a charge-discharge current density of 6 mA/cm2. Therefore, the obtained nanoflakes β-Ni(OH)2microspheres can be a potential application electrode material for supercapacitors.

Nanoflakes Co(OH)2 porous films were successfully synthesized by a facile electrochemical technique. The morphology was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostaitc charge/discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to study the effects of deposition temperatures on the capacitance of the films. The results exhibited that the Co(OH)2 films single electrode had high specific capacitance in KOH electrolyte. A maximum specific capacitance of 2780 F/g could be achieved for the Co(OH)2 film deposited at 50°C in 2 M aqueous KOH with 0 to 0.4V potential at a charge-discharge current density of 4 mA/cm2. Therefore, the obtained nanoflakes Co(OH)2 porous films can be a potential application electrode material for supercapacitors.

AbstractTwo hydrothermal techniques under microwave irradiation were used to synthesize γ-MnO2 from 90°C to 150°C in 10−30 min. The first technique is based on reducing KMnO4 with MnSO4, and the second one involves liquid-phase oxidation between MnSO4 and (NH4)2S2O8. The structures and morphologies of the samples were analyzed using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and N2 physisorption measurements. The electrochemical properties were evaluated through cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The γ-MnO2 materials obtained by the first technique mainly exhibited nanorods with diameters of 40–60 nm, and the samples obtained by the second technique showed flower-like microspheres with diameters of 1−2 µm; each flower was composed of nanosheets with a thickness of 10−20 nm. The processing time directly depends on the size of the nanorods. The sample synthesized by the first technique at 150°C and 10 min has the highest specific surface area of up to 59.08 m2 g−1 and mean pore diameter of 34.11 nm. Furthermore, this sample exhibits a near-rectangular cyclic voltammetry curves and high specific capacitance of 331.3 F g−1 in 0.1 M Na2SO4 solution at 5 mV s−1 scan rate. Graphic abstract

Ni(OH)2/multiwalled carbon nanotubes (Ni(OH)2/MWNTs) nanocomposites were synthesized by hydrothermal method. The microstructures of such nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Electrochemical properties studies were carried out using cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostaitc charge/discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy method. The presence of MWNTs network in the Ni(OH)2 significantly improved the electrical conductivity of the host Ni(OH)2 by the fromation of conducting network of MWNT and the active sites for the redox rection of the metal hydroxide. The specific capacitance of the new composites was significantly improved (MWNTs of 20 wt.%, 2144 F/g) compared to Ni(OH)2 (MWNTs of 0 wt.%, 1772 F/g) in 6 M KOH solution at a charge-discharge current density of 4 mA/cm2. Therefore, the Ni(OH)2/MWNTs nanocomposites can be a potential application electrode material for electrochemical capacitors.

The as-synthesized composite was structural, chemical, morphological, elemental information studied by using different characterization techniques X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The CeO2–SnO2/rGO exhibited an excellent specific capacitance of 156[Formula: see text]F[Formula: see text][Formula: see text] at 0.5[Formula: see text]A/g in the presence of 3 M KOH solution. The synergic effect of CeO2, SnO2 and graphene composite coated on Ni foam endowed a high specific capacitance than their individual compounds. This work suggests that the novel ternary composite is a promising candidate for the high performance electrochemical energy storage and conversion systems.
