Abstract

Mesoporous niobium nitride nanobelt arrays (Nb4N5NBAs) are fabricated directly on Nb foils by a hydrothermal reaction in KOH, protonation treatment in HNO3, and calcination in an NHambient. Themorphology, composition and pore structure of the Nb4N5NBAs are characterized in details. In addition,the mesoporous Nb4N5NBAs electrode has good specific capacitance (37.4 mF cm−2, or 124 F g−1) and delivers excellent rate performance due to the high porosity and good electron conductivity boding well for application to next-generation energy storage systems.
