Summary: | Doping is an efficient method to promote the electronic conductivity and improve the capacitive performance of electrodes for further energy conversion. Herein, by doping heteroelement metal ions, an ultrathin Y (yttrium)-doped α-Ni(OH)
2
nanosheet electrode with a large surface area and hierarchical porous structure is fabricated
via
a facile approach. The Y-doped α-Ni(OH)
2
nanosheets exhibit a high specific capacitance of 1860 F g
−1
at a current density of 1 A g
−1
mainly due to the increased electronic conductivity of the increased Ni
3+
species, as evidenced by density functional theory calculations. As a result, the asymmetric supercapacitor device based on the Y-doped α-Ni(OH)
2
nanosheet electrode demonstrates both a remarkably high energy density (58.4 W h kg
−1
) and power density (754.56 W kg
−1
).
High-conductivity Y (yttrium) doped α-Ni(OH)
2
nanosheets hold great potential for assembling high-performance energy storage devices. |
