Mixed hydroxide materials with a large specific charge capacity (417 C g−1) and charge retention capacity (86%) even after 5000 galvanostatic charge–discharge processes at 25 A g−1, promising as electrode materials of energy storage devices such as hybrid batteries, are realized by isomorphic substitution of Ni(II) by Mn(II) ions in the turbostratic alpha‐nickel hydroxide lattice, generating for the first time double hydroxide salt types (Ni‐95 and Ni‐75) instead of layered double hydroxide type materials, significantly enhancing the electrochemical properties and stability of nickel hydroxide nanoparticles (Ni‐100). The presence of Mn(II) ions in the alpha‐Ni(OH)2 structure is confirmed by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and X‐ray diffractometry (XRD) of the mixed nickel–manganese hydroxide materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
