Method for preparing hydroxyl cobaltous oxide nanotube electrode

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing a hydroxyl cobaltous oxide nanotube electrode. The method comprises the following steps: (1) mixing soluble cobalt salt, urea and foamed nickel in water, enabling the components to react sufficiently by using a hydrothermal method, washing, and drying so as to obtain a basic carbonate precursor; and (2) by taking the basic carbonate precursor as a supercapacitor electrode piece, performing cyclic voltammetry tests on the electrode piece, wherein ion exchange is generated in the test process so as to generate cobaltous hydroxide nanotubes, thereby obtaining hydroxyl cobaltous oxide nanotubes along with circulation. The method for preparing the hydroxyl cobaltous oxide nanotube electrode, which is disclosed by the invention, is simple in preparation process, and materials for ion exchange can be generated while the precursor is subjected to electrochemical testes, so that regulation and control on solution concentration, reaction time and reaction temperature are avoided, repeatability of the preparation process is improved, and prepared hydroxyl cobaltous oxide is good in stability and excellent in property.
