NiO was synthesized by a static hydrothermal treatment in the mixed solvent of ethanol and deionized water. Besides, the electrochemical behavior of NiO in the KOH solution and CO2 adsorption performance were investigated. The phase, morphology, composition and pore structure of NiO were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy and N2 adsorption-desorption techniques. The results showed that NiO was granular mesoporous material and belonged to cubic crystal. In...
