An advanced electrochemical pseudocapacitor material based on reduced graphene oxide and nickel hydroxide (rGO&Ni(OH) 2 ) was prepared by an easy process where ammonia acted as a pre-stabilizer that could be easily removed. The results showed that the agglomeration and re-stacking of rGO could be effectively prevented, resulting in few-layer rGO nanosheet with high specific surface area of 891.2202m 2 /g which could supply large available area for loading nanoparticle. After the incorporation of Ni(OH) 2 nanoparticle, the rGO&Ni(OH) 2 composite owned excellent electrochemical performance thanks to effective prevention of agglomeration and re-stacking of rGO with large size of the sp 2 domain, no residual of pre-stabilizer of ammonia, and tight contact between rGO and Ni(OH) 2 . Specifically, the rGO&Ni(OH) 2 electrode exhibited excellent stability at scan rates from 100 to 30002mV/s. A high specific capacitance of 1,00802F/g was obtained at high current density of 4202A/g in 602mol/L KOH aqueous electrolyte, and the specific capacitance demonstrated good rate capability. Moreover, rGO&Ni(OH) 2 electrode showed a long cycle life, retaining 7402% specific capacitance after 2,000 cycles at current density of 602A/g. The advantages of easy process and excellent electrochemical property suggested great potential application of rGO&Ni(OH) 2 in supercapacitors.
