Abstract
Background
This work focuses on the electrochemical performance of binary metal vanadates incorporated reduced graphene oxide (rGO) for supercapacitor application. Metal vanadates such as nickel vanadate (NV) loaded rGO exposed to superior supercapcitive electrode materials for energy storage applications.
Method
The nickel vanadate (NV) nanoparticles (NPs) and nickel vanadate loaded reduced graphene oxide (rGO - NVR) nanostructures were synthesized by reflux method. The working electrodes of NV and NVR nanostructures were developed by Doctor blade method.
Significant finding
The fabricated NVR electrodes delivered the maximum specific capacitance value of 1106 Fg-1 in 1 M KOH, compared to NV electrodes (354 Fg-1) at 5 mVs-1, and 943 Fg-1 (NVR electrode) compared to 337 Fg-1 (NV electrode) at 2 Ag-1. Similarly, the assembled NVR supercapacitors delivered 2511 W kg-1 and 34.67 Wh kg-1 of superior power and energy density values, respectively, compared to NV supercapacitors (1054 W kg-1 and 14.67 Wh kg-1). Moreover, the addition of rGO in NV NPs enhanced the cyclic stability from 83 % to 91 %, after 5000 GCD cycles.
