The invention relates to a preparation method for carbon-coated
nickel oxide NiO / C as a
supercapacitor electrode material, comprising the steps that (1)
nickel acetate Ni (CH3COO)2.4H2O,
urea and
polyvinylpyrrolidone are dissolved in absolute ethyl
alcohol and water and stirred, so that a
mixed solution is obtained; (2) the
mixed solution is subjected to
hydrothermal reaction, and after the reaction is finished, the
mixed solution is cooled, centrifuged, rinsed, dried and calcined, so the NiO material is obtained; (3) the NiO is dissolved in a glucose solution and stirred, to obtain a mixed solution, the mixed solution is subjected to
hydrothermal reaction, and after the reaction is finished, the mixed solution is cooled, centrifuged, rinsed, dried and calcined, so that the carbon-coated
nickel oxide NiO / C is obtained. The NiO / C
electrode material prepared by the method disclosed by the invention is in porous structure and has high specific surface area, meanwhile the overall
conductivity of the NiO
electrode material can be improved due to the
carbon layer, and the carbon and the NiO have synergistic effect, so that the specific
capacitance and speed ratio
capacitance, and the NiO / C is an excellent
supercapacitor electrode material.
