Mesoporous Ni(OH)(2) tubes on carbon fiber paper for pseudocapacitor electrode

Abstract

A nanostructured Ni(OH)(2) electrode was prepared and evaluated in supercapacitor application. Mesoporous Ni(OH)(2) tubes were integrated onto carbon fiber paper without the use of a binder. The large surface area and porous structure of Ni(OH)(2) combined with the effective diffusion of electrolytes through carbon network resulted in an excellent charge storage capacity and good long-term cyclability.
