Selective synthesis of nickel oxide nanowires and length effect on their electrochemical properties

Abstract

Nickel oxide nanostructures with different lengths have been easily synthesized by calcining nickel foil after soaking in LiOH solution of different concentrations. The measurements of electrochemical properties of these NiO nanostructures show that different lengths of NiO nanostructures would have different electrochemical properties and the NiO nanowires with the longest length have the largest specific capacitance of 180.00 F g(-1).
