Synthesis and characterization of perovskite based rGO nanomaterial for energy storage application

The consumption of renewable energy sources has seen a rapid and significant increase in the last decade, hence enhancing the need for the prompt progress of an energy storage setup. Advancing the properties of fabricated electrodes might potentially resolve this kind of issue. The perovskite based nanocomposite with carbonations materials has several applications, particularly in energy conversion and storage. Here, a new MgCeO₃/rGO nanocomposite material was fabricated using the hydrothermal method for the energy storage system. In this article, the physical behavior of the synthesized material MgCeO₃/rGO composite were examined through physical as well as electrical properties by electrochemical techniques. In MgCeO₃/rGO composite rGO enhanced the surface area due to redox activity increased. The electrochemical behavior of the MgCeO₃/rGO nanocomposite sample had a specific capacitance (C_s) value (1494.65 F g⁻¹) at 1 A·g⁻¹. Moreover, the fabricated electrode illustrated the best cycle stability after successive 5000th cycle Additionally, enhanced in electrochemical characteristics of prepared MgCeO₃/rGO composite can be attributed to its extensive surface area, negligible resistances and swift flow of electrolyte ions compared to the individual substances. Moreover, in the future, the MgCeO₃/rGO composite, which can be used to fabricate the electrode material, can be used in diverse electrochemical applications as electrode material in storage mechanisms.
