In Situ Synthesis of Vertical Standing Nanosized NiO Encapsulated in Graphene as Electrodes for High‐Performance Supercapacitors

Abstract NiO is a promising electrode material for supercapacitors. Herein, the novel vertically standing nanosized NiO encapsulated in graphene layers (G@NiO) are rationally designed and synthesized as nanosheet arrays. This unique vertical standing structure of G@NiO nanosheet arrays can enlarge t...
