Three dimensional (3D) honeycomb-like NiS2/NiO nano-multiple materials were successfully prepared by fabricating cribrate NiS2 on the surface of NiO nanosheets through simple hydrothermal process on nickel foam. The morphology and phase structure of the NiS2/NiO are characterized by scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer, transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffractometer and the electrochemical properties are tested by cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge/discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The NiS2/NiO electrode owns lower electrochemical impedance compared with bare NiO substrate and exhibits exceptional capacitance performance with a high specific capacitance of 2251 F g-1 delivered at current density of 1 A g(-1), while 1192 F g(-1) retained at 20 A g(-1). What's more, after 2000 cycles, the specific capacitance remains 1275 F g(-1) (at 5 A g(-1)) with a capacitance retention of 78%. Therefore, the NiS2/NiO electrode shows remarkable electrochemical performance and has a promising future for electrochemical supercapacitors. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
