A novel and cost-effective activation process has been developed to macroscopically produce three-dimensional (3D) porous Ni@NiO core-shell electrode by activated Ni foam (ANF) in HCl aqueous solution. The ANF electrode yielded a remarkable areal capacitance of 2.0 F cm−2 at a high current density of 8 mA cm−2 and exhibited ultrahigh long-term cycling stability without any decay of capacitance after 100 000 cycles.
