Abstract

The surface chemistry and decent morphology of electrode materials are highly desirable for high-performance energy storage/conversion devices. Bimetallic oxides especially nickel cobalt oxide (NCO) have gained substantial attention in energy storage/conversion devices owing to their exclusive electronic properties. Herein, flower-like nickel cobalt oxide (NiCo2O4) was prepared by a facile hydrothermal method for different reaction times. The properties of obtained samples were characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD), EDS, field-emision scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). The cyclic voltammogram (CV), Galvanostatic changing discharging (GCD), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were employed for the evaluation of the electrochemical performances of the resultant product. The flower-like NiCo2O4 electrode exhibits high areal capacity (392 mF cm−2 at 0.5 mA cm−2) and the electrode shows an energy density of about 9.1 µWh cm−2 at power density 102 µW cm−2. The excellent electrochemical performance of the fabricated supercapacitor offers good areal capacitance and energy density that exceeds several carbon-based materials.
