Abstract

We investigated the electrochemical performance and effect of different aspect ratios of core-shell Ni/Ni(OH)2 nanowires arrayed in an asymmetric supercapacitor with graphene flakes. We created thenanowires with diameters of 35 nm, 100 nm, 150 nm and different height using electrodeposition with help of Anodic Alumina Oxide template, allowing us to regulate their dimensions accurately. We identified an intriguing trend: supercapacitor performance first rises with nanowire height, but then steadily drops when a critical threshold is reached. We used Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to corroborate our experimental results and uncover the underlying electrochemical processes in order to better explain and comprehend this phenomenon. According to the FEA simulations, the nanowire length effects the distribution and accessibility of ionic species surrounding the nanowire array, which influences the charge storage and transfer processes.
