▎ 摘  要

NiCo2O4/NiCoO2/graphene hybrid nanoarrays on Ni foam have been designed and synthesized through a hydrothermal method and post-annealing treatment. Highly conducive graphene sheets were embedded into or coated onto the NiCo2O4/NiCoO2 arrays, which strongly affect influence the morphology and electrochemical performance of hybrid nanoarrays. Under the effect of graphene, the architecture of the NiCo2O4/NiCoO2 consists of cluster-like arrays that are self-assembled from numerous nanoneedles and provides more electroactive sites for the redox reaction. However, without the assistance of graphene, the pure NiCo2O4/NiCoO2 exhibits the morphology of flake-like arrays on the Ni foam. The NiCo2O4/NiCoO2/graphene arrays show an ultrahigh capacity of 1439 C g(-1 )at a current density of 1 mA cm(-2), which is far larger than that of the pure NiCo2O4/NiCoO2 flake-arrays (695 C g(-1)). Furthermore, even at a high current density of 60 mA cm(-2), the NiCo2O4/NiCoO2/graphene arrays maintain a high gravimetric capacity of 1172 C g(-1) (capacity retention: 81.4%), which indicates an excellent rate capability. Further, the hybrid capacitor shows a maximum energy density of 34.3 Wh kg(-1). The present study suggests that the NiCo2O4/NiCoO2 /graphene hybrid arrays have great application potential as a positive electrode for hybrid supercapacitors.
