Cadmium oxide (CdO)-incorporating molybdenum trioxide (MoO) nanocomposites were synthesized using a facile hydrothermal method by varying the CdO content (1%, 3%, and 5%) to comprehend the influence of CdO concentration on the electrochemical performance of MoO. The structural and morphological properties of the synthesized nanomaterials were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). XRD showed that MoO has an orthorhombic structure, and FE-SEM showed that it has a nanobelt shape (0.8-3.2 μm long and 100-228 nm wide) with CdO nanoparticles grown on its surface. Electrochemical properties were analyzed through cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The 3%CdO-incorporating MoO electrode exhibited a higher specific capacitance of 671 F g at a current density of 0.50 A g, while the pristine MoO shows 386 F g. Kinetic analysis of CV data indicates that redox processes in the nanocomposite electrodes involve both capacitive and diffusion-controlled mechanisms. The MoO/CdO (3%) electrode showed low charge transfer resistance (2.35 Ω) and series resistance (6.20 Ω), enabling faster faradaic redox reactions and improved electrochemical performance. Moreover, the MoO/CdO (3%) electrode demonstrated excellent cycling stability, retaining more than 92% of its initial specific capacitance after 5000 cycles. The incorporation of CdO enhances the diffusion pathways within the nanocomposites, potentially boosting their conductivity and specific capacitance. The symmetric supercapacitor MoO/CdO (3%)//MoO/CdO (3%) exhibited a notable operating voltage of 1.6 V, achieving an energy density of 124 W h kg at a power density of 1067 W kg. It also exhibited a capacitance retention of 88.9% after 5000 cycles at a current density of 15 A g, highlighting its potential for energy storage applications.
采用简便的水热法，通过改变氧化镉（CdO）含量（1%、3%和5%）合成了含氧化镉（CdO）的三氧化钼（MoO₃）纳米复合材料，以了解CdO浓度对MoO₃电化学性能的影响。使用X射线衍射（XRD）和场发射扫描电子显微镜（FE-SEM）对合成的纳米材料的结构和形态特性进行了表征。XRD表明MoO₃具有正交结构，FE-SEM表明其具有纳米带形状（长0.8 - 3.2μm，宽100 - 228nm），表面生长有CdO纳米颗粒。通过循环伏安法（CV）、恒电流充放电（GCD）和电化学阻抗谱（EIS）分析了电化学性能。含3%CdO的MoO₃电极在电流密度为0.50 A g⁻¹时表现出更高的比电容，为671 F g⁻¹，而原始MoO₃的比电容为386 F g⁻¹。CV数据的动力学分析表明，纳米复合电极中的氧化还原过程涉及电容控制和扩散控制机制。MoO₃/CdO（3%）电极显示出低电荷转移电阻（2.35Ω）和串联电阻（6.20Ω），能够实现更快的法拉第氧化还原反应并改善电化学性能。此外，MoO₃/CdO（3%）电极表现出优异的循环稳定性，在5000次循环后保留了超过92%的初始比电容。CdO的掺入增强了纳米复合材料中的扩散途径，可能提高其导电性和比电容。对称超级电容器MoO₃/CdO（3%）//MoO₃/CdO（3%）表现出1.6 V的显著工作电压，在功率密度为1067 W kg⁻¹时实现了124 W h kg⁻¹的能量密度。在电流密度为15 A g⁻¹的情况下，经过5000次循环后，其电容保持率为88.9%，突出了其在储能应用中的潜力。
