Facile Synthesis of Manganese Cobalt Oxide/Nickel Cobalt Oxide Composites for High-Performance Supercapacitors

摘要

Transition metal oxides (TMOs) with spinel structures have a promising potential as the electrode materials for supercapacitors application owning to its outstanding theoretical capacity, good redox activity, and eco-friendly feature. In this work, MnCo2O4.5@NiCo2O4 nanowire composites for supercapacitors has been successfully fabricated by using a mild hydrothermal approach without any surfactant. The morphology and physicochemical properties of the prepared products can be well-controlled by adjusting experimental parameters of preparation. The double spinel composite exhibits a high specific capacitance of 325 F g⁻¹ (146 C g⁻¹) and 70.5% capacitance retention after 3,000 cycling tests at 1 A g⁻¹.
