Abstract

Abstract In this work, the influence of Cu doping on the electrochemical properties of NiO was investigated regarding its performance as electrodes in aqueous supercapacitors. NiO and Ni1−xCuxO (x=0.5–3%) cathode materials were synthesized via a citrate-gel process. Ni1−xCuxO samples have the same crystal structures as those of the un-doped NiO, indicating that copper atoms enter into the lattice of nickel mono-oxide. Compared to NiO, Cu-doping materials significantly improve the specific capacitance and rate capability. Especially, among all of the investigated samples, Ni0.99Cu0.01O presents the best electrochemical performance as high as 559 and 389 F g−1, which are 90.14% and 86.12% higher than those of NiO at 0.3 and 10 A/g, respectively. This work demonstrated that Cu-doping is an effective way to improve the pseudo-capacitance of nickel monoxide.
