| Abstract: | Cobalt hydroxide and other first-row transition metal hydroxides have gained significant attention as pseudocapacitor materials due to their rapid and reversible redox processes. Their layered structures facilitate interactions between electrolyte anions and cobalt cation sites within the bulk of the material, enabling higher charge density and extending redox activity beyond the particle surface. By controlled precipitation under hydrothermal conditions, the structure and morphology of cobalt hydroxides can be optimized to enhance electrochemical performance. Challenging conventional assumptions, surface area alone is not the primary factor driving increased pseudocapacitive performance. The hexagonal hydrotalcite-like structure, characterized by lower skeletal density and larger basal plane spacing, outperforms the monoclinic cobalt carbonate hydroxide structure, achieving an order of magnitude higher capacitance. In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy provides critical insights into the pseudocapacitive behavior, revealing enhanced accessibility of Co2+ sites for electrochemical oxidation. While monoclinic cobalt carbonate hydroxide exhibits minimal changes in the Co2+ oxidation state, indicative of surface-limited redox activity, the hydrotalcite-like cobalt hydroxides show substantial shifts in the Co K-edge position, highlighting oxidation of Co2+ sites throughout the bulk. |
