Co-doped Ni(OH)₂ was prepared by a simple co-precipitation method, and the electrochemical performance was improved by the Co/Ni synergistic effect. Co-doping refined the grain size of Ni(OH)₂, improved the morphology of the material, exposed more active sites, and improved the electrochemical activity of the material. Meanwhile, the first-principle calculation showed that Co-doping also changed the electron density distribution of Ni, leading to the improvement of the charge transport and ion diffusion properties of the material. Due to the appropriate quantity of Co doping, Ni_0.84Co_0.16(OH)₂ had excellent electrochemical energy storage of 1 589.6 F·g^-1 at the current density of 1 A·g^-1, far higher than that of Ni(OH)₂ (1 191.7 F·g^-1). Meanwhile, the assembled asymmetric super-capacitor had an energy density of 8.30 Wh·kg^-1 when the power density was 21.33 kW·kg^-1, showing a good energy storage performance and cycle performance.
