Abstract
This work investigates the capacitive characteristics of Al-doped nickel cobalt oxide (NiCo2O4) nanoparticles by doping them with aluminium at different concentrations (20 mol%, 25 mol%, and 30 mol%) via a hydrothermal technique. The systematic characterizations have been performed. The electrochemical tests are performed to examine the capacitive characteristics. Al-doped NiCo2O4 demonstrated a significant OH adsorption capacity for redox processes. With 1 Ag−1 current density, a 25 mol% Al-doped NiCo2O4 electrode presented the highest specific capacitance of 1318 Fg−1 compared to NiCo2O4 and 20 mol%, 30 mol% of ANCO. The Al-doped NiCo2O4@NF//AC in two electrodes displayed exceptional cycling stability over 2500 charge–discharge cycles, retention of 85.13 % of its capacitance at 20 Ag−1. A constructed asymmetric supercapacitor exhibited an outstanding energy density of 18.67 Wh kg−1 at a power density of 2621 Wkg−1. Based on our findings, the 25 mol% Al-doped NiCo2O4 exhibited exceptional potential for the application of energy storage systems.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
