“…The NC/rGO composite electrode could still retain ~94% of the initial capacity over 5,000 cycles at a high current density of 20 A g −1 , which is higher than the NC electrode (~88% of the initial capacity), revealing its good cycling stability (Figure 5e) . Furthermore, the cycling stability of the NC/rGO in 2 M aqueous KOH aqueous solution using a typical three-electrode cell were superior to many transition metal compounds electrode materials reported in literature, such as Co(OH) 2 nanosheets (89.1% capacitance retention after 5,000 cycles at 20 A g −1 ) (Chen et al, 2018b ), Co-doped α-Ni(OH) 2 /RGO nanosheet (87.9% capacitance retention after 1,000 cycles at 10 A g −1 ) (Zhang et al, 2018b ), Ni(OAc) 2 /Co(NO 3 ) 2 (91.5% capacitance retention after 1,000 cycles at 5 A g −1 ) (Wei et al, 2018 ), illustrating the excellent capacity and long-term electrochemical stability of the NC/rGO composite electrode.…”
