Binder-free tuberosa architectured barium hydroxide thin film for supercapacitor application
摘要
In recent times, there has been a rising interest in utilizing alkaline earth metals for energy storage applications. Thin films of Ba(OH)2 were deposited on stainless steel (SS) using the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method. The characterization of prepared films was carried out through X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy (XPS), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The surface study of Ba(OH)2 thin film on SS reveals the polianthes tuberosa morphology. The electrochemical properties of the prepared electrodes were examined using cyclic voltammetry (CV) in a 1 M Na2SO4 electrolyte solution. The electrode exhibited a maximum specific capacity (
