The preparation of Ni oxide films and their capacitive mechanism are discussed in this paper. Nickel oxide film electrodes perform pseudocapacitance in aqueous KOH and NaOH but perform double layer capacitance in LiCIO4/PC (propylence carbonate). The effect of increasing the specific capacitance was observed when Ni oxide film electrodes are doped with Co. A specific capacitance of around 70 F/g was achieved when using Ni oxide films doped with Co as electrodes and 1 mol/L aqueous KOH or NaOH as an electrolyte.
