▎ 摘  要

Nanostructured hybrids have attracted great interest in the development of high-performance supercapacitors. Herein, a novel hierarchical nanohybrid of La(OH)(3) electrostatically anchored onto 2D-Graphene nanosheets (GNs) were prepared by a simple solvothermal reduction method and investigated as an electrode material for supercapacitors for the first time. This 2D La(OH)(3)-G nanohybrid electrode exhibits a specific capacitance of 485 F g(-1) at 1 A g(-1) and 295 F g(-1) at 15 A g(-1) with 61% of capacitance retention from 1 A g(-1) to 15 A g(-1) in 6M KOH in the potential window of -0.2-0.4 V. This nanohybrid electrode provides a convenient and advantageous way for charge and ion transport and highly accessible electroactive sites to improve the performance of supercapacitors. The asymmetric supercapacitor assembled with La(OH)(3)-G nanohybrids as a positive electrode and activated carbon as negative electrode produce the highest specific capacitance of 69 F g(-1) at of 1 A g(-1) and retains 82.6% up to 5000 cycles with 97% Coulombic efficiency in 6M KOH. These electrochemical findings demonstrate La(OH)(3)-G nanohybrid as a potential candidate for supercapacitor applications. (c) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
