“…x(OH)2(A )x/n•mH2O, M 2+ and M 3+ correspond to (Ni 2+ , Co 2+ , Cu 2+ , Mg 2+ , Mn 2+ ) and (Al 3+ , V 3+ , Fe 3+ , Cr 3+ ) metal cations, respectively, A nrepresents the interlayer anion (NO3 , CO3 , OH ), x = M 3+ /(M 2+ + M 3+ ) is the surface charge [1,2], have evoked great attraction on the basis of their well-defined and high redox activity, and environmentally friendly nature. They have been employed in several processes such as oxygen evolution reaction [3,4], hydrogen evolution reaction [5], corrosion protection [6], hot coal gas desulfurization [7], supercapacitors [8,9] and so on. Among all the above mentioned applications, the development of high performance supercapacitors represents a very active area of research.…”
