A nickel oxide /activated carbon (NiO/AC) composite electrode for use in an electrochemical capacitor (ECs) was prepared by a simple chemical precipitation method. The results showed that the introduction of a amount of NiO to AC could promote the speciﬁc capacitance of a composite electrode. when the loading amount of NiO was 55.6wt.%, the composite electrode showed a high specific capacitance of 58.9 F g−1, which is higher than pure activated carbon. NiO/AC composite electrode was found to be a good material for ECs.
