Thin nickel oxide (NiO) films were obtained by post-heating of the corresponding precursor films of nickel hydroxide (Ni(OH)2) cathodically deposited onto different substrates, i.e., nickel foils, and graphite at 25 °C from a bath containing 1.5 mol L−1 Ni(NO3)2 and 0.1 mol L−1 NaNO3 in a solvent of 50% (v/v) ethanol. The surface morphology of the obtained films was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Electrochemical characterization was performed using cyclic voltammetrty (CV), chronopotentiometry (CP) and electrochemical impedance analysis (EIS). When heated at 300 °C for 2 h in air, the specific capacitance of the prepared NiO films on nickel foils and graphite, with a deposition charge of 250 mC cm−2, were 135, 195 F g−1, respectively. When the deposition charge is less than 280 mC cm−2, the capacitance of both appears to keep the linear relationship with the deposition charge. The specific capacitance, cyclic stability of the NiO/graphite hybrid electrodes in 1 mol L−1 KOH solution were superior to those on nickel foils mainly due to the favorable adhesion, the good interface behavior between graphite and the NiO films, and the extra pseudo-capacitance of the heated graphite substrates.
