Assembly of porous NiO nanowires on carbon cloth as a flexible electrode for high-performance supercapacitors

Abstract

Porous NiO nanowire layers were deposited on conductive carbon cloth and are used as flexible electrodes for high performance supercapacitors. The unique electrode structure facilitates the accommodation of the volume change, increases the active surface area, improves the conductivity and achieves rapid electrolyte diffusion, resulting in high electrochemical performance.
