本研究主要目的為利用無電鍍鎳法製備基板，以發泡石墨鍍上鎳作為基板，再利用溶熱法來形成硫化鎳奈米柱結構電極材料，主要分為兩個部分，第一部分為探討無電鍍鎳法之前趨物濃度、鍍膜時間及工作溫度對基板之影響，並用這些不同條件下製成之基板來硫化形成硫化鎳奈米柱結構電極材料，探討不同基板對硫化鎳奈米柱形貌和電化學性質表現之影響；第二部分為探討溶熱法之硫化條件對硫化鎳奈米柱結構形貌之影響，以改變硫化之反應溶液濃度及工作溫度和硫化時間來觀察硫化鎳奈米柱結構變化，最後因鎳薄膜與發泡石墨只有機械性接觸，產生不緊密的貼合，在硫化過程中產生空隙，使之產生雙層奈米柱結構，而也藉由改變硫化條件成功合成了狼牙棒形貌之奈米柱結構，成功大幅提升了工作表面積，電容值最高在電流密度2Ag-1下可達2906Fg-1 。

Supercapacitors have become a popular energy storage device in the past ten years, due to its excellent properties in many aspects, like electrical conductivity, cycle stability, and higher power density than lithium battery. Recently, transition metal sulfides have been extensively investigated as novel electrode materials for supercapacitors.
In this work, the double-side transition metal sulfides, NiSx, was synthesized using electroless nickel plating and solvothermal treatment. Using carbon foam as the porous framework with different nickel plating condition.Then, the structure of double-side NiS nanorod arrays forms after solvothermal approach. The effect of concentration of precursor of nickel plating on the characteristics of the formation of NiS was studied. It showed that varying concentration of precursor will have different morphology of NiS nanorods. In addition, we also discussed the effect of temperature and precursor about solvothermal method on the characteristics of the formation of NiS nanorods. Finally, the double-side NiS nanorod arrays on carbon foam were constructed for high-performance electrode materials in supercapacitor. The relationship between the material characteristics and the supercapacitor performance is addressed.
