Abstract

In this work, we reported that three-dimensional (3D) honeycomb-like NiO nanoflakes can be directly deposited on nickel foam via a facile electrodeposition method. The effects of electrodeposition conditions including the deposition potential and deposition mass on structure and pseudocapacitive performance are systematically studied. The results show that the 3D honeycomb-like NiO film can be obtained at a potential of -0.7 V (vs. SCE) and a mass loading about 0.83 mg per square centimeter, thus providing superior electrochemical performance. For example, this 3D honeycomb-like NiO film can yield an extremely high specific capacitance of 1308 F g^-1 at 3 A g^-1 and still deliver 950 F g^-1 at an ultra-high current density of 36 A g^-1. The present work elaborates on a profound understanding for designing high-performance metal oxide electrodes for supercapacitors.
