摘要: 采用原位生长法, 以硝酸钴和氨水为原料、硝酸铵为生长剂, 制备生长在泡沫镍上的Co (OH)2电极材料, 并在此基础上对其进行镍添加改性, 旨在得到比电容高、循环性能好的Co–Ni氢氧化物电极材料。通过X射线衍射仪、扫描电子显微镜对Co–Ni氢氧化物电极材料进行物相和微观形貌分析; 通过循环伏安、恒流充放电和交流阻抗等方法对Co–Ni氢氧化物电极材料的电化学性能进行分析和表征。结果表明: 镍添加使材料从原有的Co (OH) 2晶相变为Co (OH) 2和Ni (OH) 2双晶相材料, 使原有的簇状结构转变为更利于离子扩散的花状结构, 进而促进材料电化学性能的提高。当Co/Ni摩尔比为3:1时制得的花状Co–Ni氢氧化物电极材料的电化学性能最好, 在5 m V·s-1扫速下的比电容值为3674.7 F·g-1, 在5 A·g-1电流密度下的比电容值为1450.0 F·g-1, 在20 A·g-1电流密度下循环5000次的比电容保持率为77.1%。Abstract: To obtain the hydroxide electrode materials with excellent capacitance and cycling performance, the cobalt-nickel double hydroxide electrode materials doped by nickel were prepared by in-situ growth method on nickel foams using cobaltous nitrate and ammonium hydroxide as the raw materials and using ammonium nitrate as the promoters.X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the crystal phases and microstructures of Co–Ni double hydroxide electrode materials.The tests of cycling voltammetry (CV), chronopotentiometry (CP), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were conducted to analyze the electrochemical properties of electrode materials.The results show that, the nickel doping results in the crystal phase transform from Co (OH) 2 single-phase to Co (OH) 2 and Ni (OH) 2 bi-phase, and changes the microstructures of electrode materials from cluster-like to flower-like, which is in favor of ion diffusion.Importantly, the flower-like cobalt-nickel double hydroxide electrode material with a Co/Ni mole ratio of 3:1 exhibits the best electrochemical performance, it has a specific capacitance value of 3674.7 F·g -1 at a scan rate of 5 m V·s-1 and that of 1450.0 F·g-1 at a current density of 5 A·g-1, as well as a capacitance retention of 77.1%at 20 A·g-1 after 5000 cycles.
