Abstract
A facile strategy has been developed to realize the controllable synthesis of single crystalline NiO nanoflakes. According to the SEM, TEM and BET analysis, it was found that the m-NiO nanoflakes have a hexagonal structure with an average pore diameter of 4.4 nm, and exhibit a high surface area of 113.4 m2 g−1 and a pore volume around 0.142 cm3 g−1. The m-NiO nanoflakes exhibit a significantly improved electrochemical performance as an anode of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) compared with bulk NiO based on cyclic voltammograms and galvanostatic measurement. Additionally, the m-NiO nanoflakes showed remarkable advanced activity for catalyzing oxygen reduction reaction (ORR ) relative to the bulk NiO electrode and the bare electrode. Further, rotating disk electrodes demonstrated that the m-NiO nanoflakes, as the support of the Pt nanoparticles, shows significantly improved activity for ORRs.
