The ternary nanocomposite of cobalt oxide (Co3O4) and silver (Ag) nanoparticles with reduced graphene (rGO) was successfully synthesized via single-step hydrothermal method and applied as a positrode material in supercapattery. The successful synthesis of ternary nanocomposite (rGO-Co3O4-Ag) and uniform distribution of Co(3)O(4 )nanograins over graphene matrix decorated with Ag nanoparticles was confirmed using X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscope, energy-dispersive X-ray and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. From electrochemical studies such as cyclic voltammetry, galvanic charge-discharge and impedance spectroscopy, it was found that the prepared ternary nanocomposite exhibited excellent performance compared to its counterparts (Co3O4, rGO-Co3O4). The rGO-Co3O4-Ag ternary nanocomposite showed a specific capacity of 94.20 C g(-1) that is remarkably higher than the rGOCo(3)O(4) (63.98 C g(-1)) and Co3O4 (58.92 C g(-1)) in a three-electrode cell system using 1 M KOH electrolyte. The two electrodes cell assembly (supercapattery) was fabricated using rGO-Co3O4-Ag nanocomposite as a positrode and activated carbon as a negatrode. The assembled supercapattery (rGO-Co3O4-Ag/activated carbon) was able to run in a potential range of 0-1.5 V even at the higher scan rate. The two electrodes cell studies demonstrated that the assembled supercapattery at a current density of 0.6 A g(-1) achieved energy density and power density of 23.63 Wh kg(-1) and 440 W kg(-1) respectively. It also displayed excellent cycling stability with capacity retention around 85.5% after 3000 cycles at a current density of 3 A g(-1). (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
