Nanoporous nickel hydroxide film has been successfully electrodeposited on titanium substrate from nickel nitrate dissolved in the aqueous domains of the hexagonal lyotropic liquid crystalline phase of Brij 56. Low-angle X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) studies show that the film has a regular nanostructure consisting of a hexagonal array of cylindrical pores with a repeat center-to-center spacing of about 7 nm. Preliminary electrochemical studies are carried out using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronopotentiometry technology. A maximum specific capacitance of 578 F g(-1) could be achieved for the nanoporous Ni(OH)(2) film electrode, suggesting its potential application in electrochemical capacitors. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.
