A possible mechanism for the growth of those nanostructures is proposed based on the experimental results. It is discovered that the existence of HCl could affect the surface of CuCl nanocubes. This unique cube-like nanostructure with rough surface significantly enhances the electroactive surface areas of CuCl, leading to a high special capacitance of 376&nbsp;mF&nbsp;cm<sup>−2</sup> at the current density of 1.0&nbsp;mA&nbsp;cm<sup>−2</sup>. There is still a good reversibility with cycling efficiency of 88.8&nbsp;% after 2,000 cycles, demonstrating its excellent long-term cycling stability and might be the promising candidates as the excellent electrode material.</p>}, number={4}, journal={Nano-Micro Letters}, author={Yin, Bosi and Zhang, Siwen and Zheng, Xin and Qu, Fengyu and Wu, Xiang}, year={2014}, month={Sep.}, pages={340-346} }
