Abstract
Abstract NiCo‐LDH's low conductivity and structural instability limit its stability and cycle life, especially under high‐mass‐loading conditions. In this paper, a KCoNiF 3 /NiCo‐LDH supported on activated carbon cloth (KCNF‐LDH/ACC) heterojunction structural composite material is in situ synthesized on carbon cloth by doping K + into nickel‐cobalt double hydroxide, and the loading amount can reach 12 mg cm −2 . The doping of K⁺ can enhance the stability and rate performance of NiCo‐LDH. The electrode with the optimal K + doping amount (KCNF‐LDH‐3/ACC) exhibits a capacitance of 10.1 F cm −2 / 841 F g −1 at 1 mA cm −2 . When the current increases to 50 mA cm −2 , capacitance can still maintain 85% of the initial capacity. The capacity retention rate reaches 91% after 20 000 cycles. An asymmetric supercapacitor is assembled with KCNFo‐LDHo‐3/ACC as the positive electrode and AC as the negative electrode. It outperformed the previously published NiCo‐LDH supercapacitors with an energy density of 1.14 mWh cm −2 at a power density of 4 mW cm −2 . This demonstrated the viability of doping alkali metal cations into NiCo‐LDH and explored the application potential of perovskite fluoride (ABF 3 ) in the field of supercapacitors.
