"In this work, NiO_x is anodically electrodeposited onto carbon nanofoam (CNF) to form a composite electrode devoted to supercapacitor applications. The use of NiSO₄ as precursor in electrodeposition results in the formation of NiO and NiOOH species, as confirmed by XPS analysis, by means of a one-step anodic process. The presence of both NiO and NiOOH suggests the existence of pseudocapacitance, as observed in MnO₂ and RuO₂ materials. By employing Na₂SO₄, an eco-friendly electrolyte, the resulting composite delivers a specific capacitance of 150 F g⁻¹ at 1 A g⁻¹ considering the total mass of the electrode (deposit plus substrate). In addition, this composite electrode can operate in a very broad potential window, as high as 2.2 V, suggesting its application in high energy density electrochemical supercapacitors.In this work, NiOx is anodically electrodeposited onto carbon nanofoam (CNF) to form a composite electrode devoted to supercapacitor applications.
