Unravelling the impact of potassium hydroxide concentration on electrochemical performance of CoV2O6 for energy storage
摘要
Bimetallic oxides have emerged as promising electrode materials for supercapacitors due to their high specific capacitance and good electrical conductivity. In the present study nanostructured CoV₂O₆ was synthesized via a rheological phase reaction method. The synthesized material was characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The effect of electrolyte concentration on the electrochemical performance of CoV₂O₆ electrode was systematically investigated. The electrode retained 99.18% of its initial capacitance after 7000 charge–discharge cycles, demonstrating excellent cycling stability. Furthermore, it delivered a high specific capacitance of 436 F g−1 at a current density of 0.5 A g−1, indicating its potential as a sustainable electrode material for high-performance supercapacitors.
