A new and facile route has been developed to synthesize beta-Ni(OH)2 nanostructures using ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Bmim]BF4) as reaction media under solvothermal conditions. The beta-Ni(OH)2 with different morphologies, such as nanoflakes, nanoplatelet and nanorods, can be obtained by controlling the volume ratio of the ionic liquid to water and reaction temperature. The as-prepared products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The as-prepared beta-Ni(OH)2 composite electrodes were prepared by mixing 10 wt.% samples with common spherical Ni(OH)2 to carry out charge-discharge test. The results show that the as-prepared beta-Ni(OH)2 composite electrodes have higher discharge specific capacity, and the beta-Ni(OH)2 nanoflakes show a better electrochemical performance than the others.
Keywords:nickel hydroxide; ionic liquid; different morphologies; electrochemical performance
