Proposed charge storage mechanism :
Advantages of nanoporous NiF2
1. Wide operation potential window – high energy density
2. Long term stability – reliable performance
3. Li-free, battery-like supercapacitors – works easily
4. Can be used for Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries
5. Easy fabrication – only needs a power source
6. Can be grown on any substrates, any shapes, any sizes
