Abstract
Durable and cost-effective electrode materials are essential for practical application of supercapacitors.Herein,large area NiCo2O4/reduced graphene oxide(NiCo2O4/rGO)composites with hierarchical structure were fabricated by a facile one-step ultrasonic spray on Ni foam and directly used as the binder-free electrodes for supercapacitors in aqueous KOH electrolyte.Owing to high electrical conductivity of rGO,hierarchical and layered structure of the electrode,as well as tight adhesion of active materials on the current collector,the as-obtained hybrid electrodes show a high specific capacitance of 871 F g-1 at cur-rent density of 1 A g-1,good rate performance and remarkable cycling stability with a capacitance re-tention of 134％after 30000 cycles.Besides,the assembled NiCo2O4/rGO//AC asymmetric supercapacitor(ASC)displays the maximum energy density of 29.3 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 790.8 W kg-1.Signif-icantly,an ultralong cycling life of 102％capacitance retention is achieved for the ASC device after 30,000 charge/discharge cycles at 20 A g-1.The scalable fabrication route and excellent electrochemical perfor-mance of the NiCo2O4/rGO composites open the door for making novel hybrid electrodes of advanced supercapacitors.
