Zusammenfassung: | Transition metal oxides show attractive application prospects as pseudo-active materials in electrochemical energy storage areas in virtue of the higher theoretical capacity/capacitance than that of carbonaceous materials. However, their widespread application is dramatically plagued by the intrinsic poor electronic/ionic conductivity and the complicated fabrication process of common heterogeneous electrodes. Herein, 3D Ni/NiO core–shell nanotube arrays are seamlessly and vertically aligned on Ni foil substrate as a binder-free electrode for supercapacitor and lithium ion battery applications. Benefiting from the structural merits and enhanced electronic/ionic conductivity, the assembled supercapacitor reveals high specific capacitance of ~ 1426 F g
− 1
and retains ~ 97.6% of the initial capacitance after 20,000 cycles at a current density of 71.4 A g
− 1
as well as excellent rate capability. Similarly, the hybrid electrode, as anode of lithium ion battery, displays excellent rate capability (reaching ~ 1106 mAh g
− 1
at 0.1 C and maintaining 412 mAh g
− 1
at 4 C) and outstanding cycling performance (~ 93.3% retention of the initial capacity after a long-term 1000 cycle). The facile and cost-efficient strategy can be applied to large-scale manufacturing and extended to other metallic materials. |
