Zusammenfassung: | Multi-metal hydroxides based on nickel, cobalt, and manganese are considered as promising materials of working electrode for supercapacitor owing to their unique physical and chemical properties. The combination of multi-metal hydroxide with carbon material can further improve their electrochemical performance. In this work, nickel-cobalt-manganese hydroxide/carbon nanotube (CNT) composite was synthesized using a simple hydrothermal method and used as working electrode material for a supercapacitor. The experimental results show that the addition of carbon nanotubes can effectively improve the electrochemical performance of nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary metal hydroxides. NiCoMn(OH)
