Recent advances in Ni-materials/carbon nanocomposites for supercapacitor electrodes

Abstract

Recent advancements in Ni material-based supercapacitors have focused on their composites with carbon nanomaterials. These composites demonstrate improved electrical conductivity, enhanced surface area, and superior electrochemical performance by addressing critical issues related to cycling stability and low energy density. This review provides an overview of Ni material-based carbon nanocomposites including graphene (Ni/graphene), carbon nanotubes (Ni/CNTs), and activated carbon (Ni/AC) as potential electrodes for supercapacitors. The synergistic effects of Ni and carbon in nanocomposites on electrochemical properties such as capacitance, cycling stability, and specific capacitance are systematically outlined. The findings will serve as a valuable resource for understanding the structure–property–performance relationship of Ni-based composite materials for energy storage applications.
