Preparation and capacitive properties of the coreeshell structure carbon aerogel microbeads- nanowhisker-like NiO composites
Abstract.
In current study, nanowhisker-like NiO/carbon aerogel microbead (NiO/CAMB) composites with
chestnut-like coreeshell structure are prepared by in situ encapsulating method. The structure and
morphology of NiO/CAMB are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy
(SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Results indicate that the appearance of composite
becomes chestnut-like morphology with coreeshell structure when NiO is coated. Electrochemical
performances of the NiO/CAMB composites with different NiO contents are evaluated by using cyclic
voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic chargeedischarge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).
Results show that the supercapacitive behaviors of NiO/CAMB composites are largely improved due to
the combination of electrical double-layer capacitance of CAMB and pseudo-capacitance based on the
redox reaction of NiO. Especially, the 15%-NiO/CAMB composite exhibits the best capacitive properties,
its specific capacitance is up to 356.2 F g-1. Besides, the symmetric supercapacitor using 15%-NiO/CAMB
composite as the electrode active material shows stable cycling performance.
