Growth of Ultrathin Mesoporous Ni-Mo Oxide Nanosheet Arrays on Ni Foam for High-performance Supercapacitor Electrodes

“…EDLCs using carbonaceous materials (such as activated carbon [10], carbon nanotubes [11], graphene [12,13] and carbon aerogels [14]) store energy through the electrostatic adsorption of ions on their surfaces, while pseudocapacitors utilizing the fast reversible Faradaic redox reactions have gained more attention in recent years, due to their substantially higher specific capacitance and energy density with respect to EDLCs [9,15]. Generally, the reported electrode materials for pseudocapacitors are mainly including the conductive polymers (polyaniline [16], polypyrrole [17]), transition metal oxides (NiO [18,19], [20][21][22], MnO 2 [23,24], V 2 O 5 [25]), hydroxides (Ni(OH) 2 [26], Co(OH) 2 [27], NiCoAl-LDH [28][29][30]) and so forth.…”

Cyclic voltammetry on sputter-deposited films of electrochromic Ni oxide: Power-law decay of the charge density exchange

“…Devices incorporating W-oxide-based and Nioxide-based films have attracted much interest [21], and EC -smart windows‖ using this combination of materials are currently introduced on the market [10]. However, the Ni-oxidebased films are still in need of refinement, and research on Ni-oxide-based films is pursued vigorously; recent (2009 and later) studies have been published on such films prepared by evaporation [22], sputtering [23][24][25][26][27], chemical vapor deposition [28], various wet-chemical techniques such as sol-gel deposition [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] and chemical bath deposition [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44], and electrodeposition [44][45][46][47][48][49]. Electrochromic Ni-oxide-based films have been made also by electrophoretic deposition of Ni hydroxide nanoparticles [50] and from Ni oxide pigments deposited from water dispersion [51].…”

Effects of Zn‐dopant on structural properties and electrochromic performance of sol‐gel derived NiO thin films

“…For practical applications, general requirements of electrochromic performance including high optical modulation, good durability and short optical switching time are mandatory. In addition, NiO has gained considerable advantages owing to its high electrochromic efficiency, cyclic reversibility, durability and brown coloration [5]. It is recognized that electrochromic performance of specific material depends strongly on its structural properties and surface morphology [6].…”
