Microwave irradiation has advantages of being simple, quick and provides uniform heat. Such method was used for supporting metal oxides on ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC), which was named as NiO/C. Microwave assisted heating process involved Ni2 being reduced by glycol under alkaline surroundings. This greatly shortened supporting time and provided quantificational support when comparing with conventional impregnation method. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nitrogen adsorption, inductively coupled plasma (ICP) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) were employed to characterize the samples. Slightly reduce of pore size showed that nanoparticles were embedded on the pore wall of OMC. However, retaining ordered mesostructure and large surface area with appropriate NiO content were confirmed by XRD, TEM and nitrogen sorption. The data of ICP showed high supporting efficiency in microwave-assisted method. A great specific capacitance over 400 F?g-1 and high electrochemical stability implied favorable application prospect for this supporting method.
