Electrochemical synthesis of hierarchical β-Ni(OH) 2 nanostructures on conductive textiles

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Hierarchical and porous β-Ni(OH) 2 nanostructures (NSs) were synthesized on conductive textile (CT) substrates via a facile electrochemical deposition process. The formation of the β-Ni(OH) 2 NSs and their structural morphology strongly depended on the deposition potential. At an optimum applied cathodic voltage of -0.75 V, the synthesized β-Ni(OH) 2 exhibited hierarchical and flower-like NSs and were well decorated on the CT with high porosity and good crystallinity. By varying the growth time under a proper applied cathodic voltage condition, the density of decorated hierarchical β-Ni(OH) 2 NSs on the CTs could be controlled and modified, which might have great potential for foldable electrode and electrochemical capacitor applications.
