The carbon nanotube prepared by catalytic pyrolysis method is considered as an active electrode material for energy storage supercapacitors. Due to its unique mesoporosity, this material has a high capacity of charge accumulation in the electrode/electrolyte interface. Based on carbon nanotube/nickel hydroxide composite electrodes, electrochemical capacitors were made by electrochemical depositing nickel hydroxide on the nanotube electrode. The obtained capacitance reaches 63 F/g. AC impedance curve for carbon nanotube/nickel hydroxide composite electrode indicated that the carbon nanotube framework contributes to the improvement of the impedance performance of electrodeposited nickel hydroxide.
