NiMoO/g-CN was fabricated by a hydrothermal method and used as an electrode material in a supercapacitor. The samples were characterized by XRD, FTIR, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to study the physical and structural properties of the as-prepared NiMoO/g-CN material. The electrochemical responses of pristine NiMoO and the NiMoO/g-CN nanocomposite material were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). From the CD studies, the NiMoO/g-CN nanocomposite revealed a higher maximum specific capacitance (510 Fg) in comparison to pristine NiMoO (203 Fg). In addition, the NiMoO/g-CN composite electrode material exhibited high stability, which maintained up to 91.8% capacity even after 2000 charge-discharge cycles. Finally, NiMoO/g-CN was found to exhibit an energy density value of 11.3 Whkg. These findings clearly suggested that NiMoO/g-CN could be a suitable electrode material for electrochemical capacitors.
通过水热法制备了NiMoO/g-CN,并将其用作超级电容器的电极材料。采用X射线衍射(XRD)、傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和透射电子显微镜(TEM)对样品进行表征,以研究所制备的NiMoO/g-CN材料的物理和结构性质。通过循环伏安法(CV)、恒电流充放电(GCD)和电化学阻抗谱(EIS)研究了原始NiMoO和NiMoO/g-CN纳米复合材料的电化学响应。从充放电研究中可以看出,与原始NiMoO(203 F/g)相比,NiMoO/g-CN纳米复合材料显示出更高的最大比电容(510 F/g)。此外,NiMoO/g-CN复合电极材料表现出高稳定性,即使在2000次充放电循环后仍保持高达91.8%的容量。最后,发现NiMoO/g-CN的能量密度值为11.3 Wh/kg。这些发现清楚地表明,NiMoO/g-CN可能是一种适用于电化学电容器的电极材料。
