Abstract

Abstract:

NiO nanosheets have been synthesized via a facile solvothermal route using water-ethylene glycol as solvent and polyvinyl pyrrolidone(PVP) as surfactant. These NiO nanosheets were interweaved with each other to form hierarchical flower-shaped structures. Nanocubes and nanospheres were also obtained through changing the reaction temperature and solvent. The electrochemical tests were conducted using a three-electrode system in 6 mol/L KOH with the as-synthesized NiO as the working electrode. Electrochemical properties were characterized by cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge/discharge measurements, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. NiO nanosheets exhibit the highest specific capacitance(402 F/g at current density of 0.5 A/g) and the best rate capability(80.1% capacitance retention from 0.5 A/g to 4 A/g). NiO nanosheets also show excellent cycle stability, only lost 9.7% after 1000 cycles.
