Abstract

Yolk-shelled particles with tailored physical and chemical properties are attractive for electrochemical energy storage. Starting with metal acetate hydroxide with tetragonal prism-like shapes, yolk-shelled Ni-Co mixed oxide nanoprisms with tunable composition have been prepared by simple thermal annealing in air. It is found that the yolk-shelled structure is formed due to the fast thermally driven contraction process. With the favorable porous structure and composition, these yolk-shelled Ni-Co oxide particles manifest greatly enhanced electrochemical properties when evaluated as electrodes for both hybrid supercapacitors and lithium ion batteries. In particular, the resultant Ni<sub>0.37</sub>Co oxide sample delivers very high specific capacitance of over 1000 F g<sup>-1</sup> at a current density of 10 A g<sup>-1</sup> with remarkably high capacitance retention of 98% after 15 000 cycles. © 2015 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
