NiO nanowires of diameter ∼50–70 nm are synthesized by electrospinning process.
The supercapacitors fabricated using the nanowires gave specific capacitance ∼670 Fg−1 at 1 Ag−1.
Specific capacitance as high as 30% of its theoretical capacitance is achieved.
The device retained ∼100% of capacitance at the end of 1000 cycles at extreme conditions.
