NiCoAl layered double hydroxide nanosheets (NiCoAl-LDHNs) were prepared by a one-step solvothermal method. The shape and size of the obtained nanosheets are optimized by adjusting the solvothermal time and the molar concentration ratio of Ni²⁺/Co²⁺ to obtain the electrode material with the best performance. When the solvothermal time is 9 h and the molar concentration ratio of Ni²⁺/Co²⁺ is 1:1, NiCoAl-LDHNs has the best morphology and electrochemical performance. When assembled into a supercapacitor, NiCoAl-LDHN-9 has a high specific capacitance of 1228.5 F g⁻¹ at 1 A g⁻¹. As the current density is increased to 20 A g⁻¹, the specific capacitance is 1001.8 F g⁻¹, which still has a high capacitance retention of 81.6%. When NiCoAl-LDHN-9 was assembled into an asymmetric supercapacitor, NiCoAl-LDHN-9//AC has a specific capacitance of 102.1 F g⁻¹ at 0.5 A g⁻¹. The asymmetric supercapacitor devices also show excellent electrochemical performance in terms of energy density (35.9 Wh kg⁻¹ at 225.8 W kg⁻¹), power density (4.8 kW kg⁻¹ at 22.2 Wh kg⁻¹) and cycle life (capacitance retention rate after 10,000 cycles is 87.1%). Those results indicate that NiCoAl-LDHN have the potential to be promising electrode materials for high performance supercapacitors.
