Reversible thermally-responsive electrochemical energy storage based on smart LDH@P(NIPAM-co-SPMA) films.

A smart supercapacitor was fabricated by loading a thermosensitive polymer P(NIPAM-co-SPMA) onto the surface of NiAl-layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanowalls grown on a flexible Ni foil substrate, which displays temperature-triggered on–off ion channels for controlling the electrochemical behavior.
