1D Co2.18Ni0.82Si2O5(OH)4 architectures assembled by ultrathin nanoflakes for high-performance flexible solid-state asymmetric supercapacitors.

1D Co 2.18 Ni 0.82 Si 2 O 5 (OH) 4 architectures assembled by ultrathin nanoflakes are synthesized for the first time by a hydrothermal method. We present a self-reacting template method to synthesize 1D Co 2.18 Ni 0.82 Si 2 O 5 (OH) 4 architectures using Ni(SO 4 ) 0.3 (OH) 1.4 nanobelts. A high-performance flexible asymmetric solid-state supercapacitor can be successfully fabricated based on the 1D Co 2.18 Ni 0.82 Si 2 O 5 (OH) 4 architectures and graphene nanosheets. Interestingly, the as-assembled 1D Co 2.18 Ni 0.82 Si 2 O 5 (OH) 4 architectures//Graphene nanosheets asymmetric solid-state supercapacitor can achieve a maximum energy density of 0.496 mWh cm −3 , which is higher than most of reported solid state supercapacitors. Additionally, the device shows high cycle stability for 10,000 cycles. These features make the 1D Co 2.18 Ni 0.82 Si 2 O 5 (OH) 4 architectures as one of the most promising candidates for high-performance energy storage devices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
