A novel Co3O4 nanocubes-NiO octahedral structured composite was successfully synthesized via a facile one-step calcination process, showing high specific capacitance and cycling stability, with good capacity retention at higher current densities.
Fabrication of novel metal oxide nanostructured composites is a proficient approach to develop efficient energy storage devices and development of cost-free and eco-friendly metal oxide nanostructures for supercapacitor applications received considerable attention in recent years. The Co3O4 nanocubes-NiO octahedral structured composite was constructed using facile and one-step calcination process. Cyclic voltammetry, charge-discharge, and electrochemical impedance spectral techniques have been employed to analyze the specific capacitance of the synthesized nanostructures and the composites. Specific capacitance and cycling stability of the composites were evaluated with the pristine Co3O4 and NiO nanostructures. The composite showed a specific capacitance of 832 F g(-1) at a current density of 0.25 A g(-1), which was similar to 1.5 and similar to 1.9-times higher than pristine Co3O4 nanocubes and NiO octahedral structure, respectively. On the other hand, electrode showed approximately 50 % capacity retention at a higher current density (5 Ag-1) because of the uniform morphology of Co3O4 and NiO. The charge-discharge stability measurements of the composite showed an admirable specific capacitance retention capability, which was 94.5 % after 2000 continuous charge-discharge cycles at a current density of 5 A g(-1). The superior electrochemical performance of the nano-composite was ascribed to synergistic effects and uniform morphology. Efficient nanostructure development using facile and one-step calcination process and electrochemical performance make the synthesized composite a promising device for supercapacitor applications.
