Abstract

In this study, rod-shaped akaganeite nanostructures were successfully synthesized via a facile hydrothermal process using polyvinylpyrrolidone as the soft template and NaAc as the precipitation agent. The electrochemical properties of the as-prepared akaganeite nanorods were investigated by cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge–discharge, and constant current discharge. The results reveal that the as-prepared akaganeite nanorods exhibit high specific supercapacitance of 1,140 F g−1.

Graphical Abstract

Rod-shaped akaganeite (FeOOH) nanostructures, synthesized via a facile hydrothermal process, show very high supercapacitance.
