Preparation and Electrochemical Capacitance of α-Ni(OH)2 Synthesized by Microwave-assisted Hydrothermal Method

doi:10.3724/SP.J.1077.2010.01268

Abstract

Abstract: Ni(OH)₂ particles were successfully prepared with Ni(NO₃)₂·6H₂O as the raw material and CO(NH₂)₂ as the precipitation agent by microwave-assisted hydrothermal method. The obtained Ni(OH)₂were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and electrochemical measurements. XRD results showed that the as-prepared Ni(OH)₂particles had the typical α-phase. The SEM images revealed that the synthesized α-Ni(OH)₂particles were well dispersed and ball-flower like with diameters of 0.5-3 μm which consisted of the aggregated flakes. Electrochemical properties were studied by cyclic voltammograms (CV) and galvanostatic charge-discharge tests in 6 mol/L KOH electrolyte. All the tests showed that the reactants ratio affected the morphologies and the electrochemical capacitance of the materials. When the molar ratio of the CO(NH₂)₂ to Ni(NO₃)₂·6H₂O was 3:1, the obtained α-Ni(OH)₂had the maximal initial special capacity; when the molar ratio was 2:1, the α-Ni(OH)₂ had the best cycle storage performance.

Key words: microwave-assisted hydrothermal method, α-Ni(OH)₂, supercapacitor
