In this work, we present a binary composite of La(OH)@Ni(OH) on carboxyl graphene (La@Ni/CG) as an electrode material. The layered La@Ni/CG double hydroxides (LDHs) were synthesized by a simple electrodeposition method in which La(OH) nanoparticles were first adsorbed onto carboxyl graphene and then coated with Ni(OH), with different particle shapes due to the large pH change near the cathodic region. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) were used to characterise the as-prepared La@Ni/CG composite. These results showed that the La@Ni/CG composite exhibited improved electrochemical properties, including large specific capacitance (1334.7 F g at 1.4 A g) and capacity retention of 90.6% even after 3000 cycles, and excellent rate capability. The improved electrochemical performance of the composite can be attributed to the synergistic effect of surface adsorption and conductive pathways provided by the multiple active species (Ni, La and C) in the La@Ni/CG composite. The results presented in this work provide advances in the efficient design of nanomaterial based electrochemical energy storage devices.
