Abstract

Abstract : Nickel oxide-encapsulated hollow carbon nitride spheres with multiporosity show an ∼250% enhancement in capacitance, in addition to their robust cycle life. Abstract : We report nickel oxide encapsulated nitrogen-rich carbon hollow spheres with multiporosity, where micropores increase the number of active sites to store redox ions and mesopores enhance the ionic diffusivity of encapsulated nickel oxide, which lead to high capacitance and robust cycle life. Moreover, a high-performance full capacitor showing excellent energy and power densities is realized.
