Abstract

Abstract : Amorphous Ni2 (OH)2 CO3 nanowire arrays on a CNT paper were electrochemically converted into a Ni(OH)2 nanosheet with high capacitance for supercapacitors. Abstract : Large-diameter carbon nanotube (CNT) paper was used as a porous and conductive template to obtain vertically aligned Ni2 (OH)2 CO3 nanowire array shells, which could be further converted into highly active Ni(OH)2 nanosheets by a cyclic voltammetry strategy. The as-prepared hierarchical nanostructure showed superior electrochemical performance for the electrodes of supercapacitors.
