SILVA, R. P. et al. Ni-co alloys electrodeposited in stainless steel for supercapacitors electrodes. Corros. Prot. Mater. [online]. 2013, vol.32, n.2, pp.37-41. ISSN 2182-6587.

The development of electric energy storage devices with high power density has become one of the most challenging research areas in a wide range of applications. In this context, electrochemical supercapacitors are attracting great attention due to their high potential density, fast charge-discharge cycles and high number of life cycles. In the present work, Ni-Co nanostructured films were produced by electrodeposition technique in order to form a porous dendritic structure with enhanced surface area. The electrochemical behaviour of the deposited films was studied by charge-discharge experiments. The Ni-Co dendritic films electrodeposited at current densities i₁ = -4 mA cm^-2 and i₂ = -30 mA cm^-2 display a specific capacitance of 215 F g^-1. The capacitance loss is about 33 % after 6000 charge-discharge cycles.
