Synthesis and characterization of a nico2o4@nico2o4 hierarchical mesoporous nanoflake electrode for supercapacitor applications

초록

In this study, we synthesized binder-free NiCo2O4@NiCo(2)O(4)nanostructured materials on nickel foam (NF) by combined hydrothermal and cyclic voltammetry deposition techniques followed by calcination at 350 degrees C to attain high-performance supercapacitors. The hierarchical porous NiCo2O4@NiCo(2)O(4)structure, facilitating faster mass transport, exhibited good cycling stability of 83.6% after 5000 cycles and outstanding specific capacitance of 1398.73 F g(-1)at the current density of 2 A center dot g(-1), signifying its potential for energy storage applications. A solid-state supercapacitor was fabricated with the NiCo2O4@NiCo(2)O(4)on NF as the positive electrode and the active carbon (AC) was deposited on NF as the negative electrode, delivering a high energy density of 46.46 Wh kg(-1)at the power density of 269.77 W kg(-1). This outstanding performance was attributed to its layered morphological characteristics. This study explored the potential application of cyclic voltammetry depositions in preparing binder-free NiCo2O4@NiCo(2)O(4)materials with more uniform architecture for energy storage, in contrast to the traditional galvanostatic deposition methods.
