Abstract

Layered cobalt carbonate hydroxide (LCCH) acicular nanorod arrays (ANRAs) grown on a graphite substrate are converted to Co₃O₄ acicular nanotube arrays (ANTAs) via the anion-exchange reaction and Kirkendall effect at low temperature. The Co₃O₄ ANTAs exhibit an area capacitance of 369 mF cm^-2 and a specific capacitance of 979 F g^-1 at 2.5 mA cm^-2, which are much higher than those of the Co₃O₄ ANRAs prepared by calcining the LCCH ANRAs at 350 °C (64.5 mF cm^-2 and 191 F g^-1).
