“…Compared to EDLCs, pseudocapacitors exhibit much higher theoretical capacitance and thus attracting ever-growing research interest recently. Many transition metal oxides/hydroxides, such as RuO 2 [4e6], MnO 2 [7,8], NiO [9], Co 3 O 4 [10,11], Co(OH) 2 [12e14], Ni(OH) 2 [15e23], exhibited encouraging performance as active materials for pseudocapacitors. Among these materials, Ni(OH) 2 is very costeffective and has a high theoretical capacitance, making it an attractive electrode candidate for high-performance supercapacitors.…”
