Herein, a simple cation–anion（Ni^（2＋）and AlO_2） double hydrolysis method was developed toward the synthesis of nickel–aluminum（Ni–Al） composite hydroxides. The obtained composite hydroxides possesses a porous structure, large surface area（121 m^2/g） and homogeneous element distribution. The electrochemical test shows that the obtained composite hydroxides exhibits a superior supercapacitive performances（specific capacitance of 1670F/g and rate capability of 87% from 0.5 A/g to 20 A/g） to doping-free nickel hydroxide（specific capacitance of 1227 F/g and rate capability of 47% from 0.5 A/g to 20 A/g）. Moreover, the galvanostatic charge/discharge test displays that after 2000 cycles at large current density of 10 A/g, the composite hydroxides achieves a high capacitance retention of 98%, indicative of an excellent electrochemical cycleability.展开更多
