ABSTRACT

Porous α-Ni(OH)(2) microflowers are successfully synthesized via a one-step aqueous-phase reaction assisted by block copolymers under mild conditions. The electrochemical measurement demonstrates that the α-Ni(OH)(2) microflowers calcined at 200 °C are capable to deliver a specific capacity of 1551 F g(-1) in 6 M KOH solution, suggesting their high potential as a novel electrochemical pseudocapacitor.
