Coaxial Ni<sub><i>x</i></sub>Co<sub>2<i>x</i></sub>(OH)<sub>6<i>x</i></sub>/TiN Nanotube Arrays as Supercapacitor Electrodes

Abstract

Ni<sub><i>x</i></sub>Co<sub>2<i>x</i></sub>(OH)<sub>6<i>x</i></sub>, as a precursor of intensively studied NiCo<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>, has been directly deposited into self-standing titanium nitride nanotube array (TiN NTA) grid monolithic supports to form a coaxial nanostructured electrode for supercapacitors. With TiN NTA substrates providing a large surface area, fast electron transport, and enhanced structure stability, this Ni<sub><i>x</i></sub>Co<sub>2<i>x</i></sub>(OH)<sub>6<i>x</i></sub>/TiN electrode exhibits superior pseudocapacitive performance with a high specific capacitance of 2543 F g<sup>–1</sup> at 5 mV s<sup>–1</sup>, remarkable rate performance of 660 F g<sup>–1</sup> even at 500 mV s<sup>–1</sup>, and promising cycle performance (about 6.25% capacitance loss for 5000 cycles). Interestingly, the Ni<sub><i>x</i></sub>Co<sub>2<i>x</i></sub>(OH)<sub>6<i>x</i></sub>/TiN NTA electrode outperforms the NiCo<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>/TiN NTA electrode, indicating that this self-standing Ni<sub><i>x</i></sub>Co<sub>2<i>x</i></sub>(OH)<sub>6<i>x</i></sub>/TiN NTA monolith is a promising candidate for high-performance supercapacitor applications.
