The produced composite were closely interlinked with Ni-FG, which enhances the synergistic effect between graphene and the metal hydroxide, CoOOH. It is motivating that the synthesized CoOOH on the Ni-FG substrate showed a homogenous coating of well-ordered intersected nanosheets with porous structure. The electrochemical properties of the material as electrode showed a maximum specific capacity of 199 mA h g 1 with a capacity retention of 98% after 1000 cycling in a three electrode measurements.en© 2016 Elsevier Inc.
