NiCo2S4 porous nanotubes synthesis via sacrificial templates: high-performance electrode materials of supercapacitors

Abstract

NiCo2S4 porous nanotubes are synthesised by a sacrificial template method based on the Kirkendall effect. The as-prepared NiCo2S4 nanotube electrode shows a specific capacitance of 1093 F g−1 at a current density of 0.2 A g−1 (933 F g−1 at 1 A g−1).
