Supercapacitive carbon nanotube-cobalt molybdate nanocomposites prepared via solvent-free microwave synthesis

Abstract

Cobalt molybdate (CoMoO4) nanoplatelets with a crystalline-amorphous core-shell structure anchored via multi-walled carbon nanotubes were prepared by a solvent-free microwave synthesis method. The entire procedure took only 15 min. The nanocomposite shows a promising capacitance of 170 F g−1 with a potential window of 0.8 V, degrading by only 6.8% after 1000 cycles.
