Abstract
A nanocomposite of zinc oxide doped with nickel oxide (NiO/ZnO) may enhance the electrochemical characteristics of capacitors .This work evaluates the facile sol-gel, solid state, and thermal hydrolysis procedures for producing NiO/ZnO nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) were used to examine the impact of the synthesis methods on the structural, functional, and morphological characteristics of NiO/ZnO products. The thermal hydrolysis method confirmed the high purity of NiO/ZnO peaks. The FTIR studies were adopted for the purpose of establishing the M–O groups, and morphological analyses were conducted to determine the thermal hydrolysis methods results. The results showed that NiO/ZnO nanocomposites made by hydrothermal technique might be used as possible electrode materials for high-efficiency super capacitors.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Surface Investigation: X-ray, Synchrotron and Neutron Techniques publishes original articles on the topical problems of solid-state physics, materials science, experimental techniques, condensed media, nanostructures, surfaces of thin films, and phase boundaries: geometric and energetical structures of surfaces, the methods of computer simulations; physical and chemical properties and their changes upon radiation and other treatments; the methods of studies of films and surface layers of crystals (XRD, XPS, synchrotron radiation, neutron and electron diffraction, electron microscopic, scanning tunneling microscopic, atomic force microscopic studies, and other methods that provide data on the surfaces and thin films). Articles related to the methods and technics of structure studies are the focus of the journal. The journal accepts manuscripts of regular articles and reviews in English or Russian language from authors of all countries. All manuscripts are peer-reviewed.
