Facile synthesis of novel metal-organic nickel hydroxide nanorods for high performance supercapacitor

Novel one-dimensional metal-organic nickel hydroxide nanorods have been prepared via a facile hydrothermal process and used as promising electrode materials for supercapacitors. The Ni-based MOF nanorods exhibited a high specific capacitance of 1698 F g−1 at 1 A g−1, extremely high rate capability and excellent cycling stability.
