Fabrication of effective hybrid supercapacitors using ZnMoO4/PANI composite materials through a simple one-step hydrothermal process
摘要
An energy storage device is one of greatest promising alternative resources to address escalating energy crisis and contribute significantly to economic development in the modern world. Supercapacitors have drawn attention from scientists as a possible substitute for electrochemical energy storage gadgets in recent decades, mainly due to having exceptional efficiency and greatly increased cycle life. Herein, ZnMoO4/PANI nanocomposites fabricated via hydrothermal route. Several characterizations techniques were utilized to study the physical properties of produced materials. Scanning electron microscope and Brunauer Emmett Teller have been used to examine morphology and surface area (SA) specifications of produced nanostructure. The composite material’s wider active regions, lower resistance, and enhanced SA (132 m2 g− 1) than ZnMoO4 (78 m2 g− 1) are responsible for better electrochemical activity. A three-electrode arrangement was used for testing, the ZnMoO4/PANI electrode demonstrated superior charge-storing capacity with a high specific capacitance (Csp) of 1243.44 F g− 1. Furthermore, the two-electrode asymmetric SCs device demonstrated) high Csp of 218 F g− 1 at 1 A g− 1 and outstanding energy density of 57.81 Wh kg− 1 and power density 690.08 W kg− 1. The ZnMoO4, PANI, and ZnMoO4/PANI nanocomposites have Rct values of (0.103, 0.098, and 0.078) Ω, respectively. Although ZnMoO4/PANI has a favourable SA, lower obstacles, and faster electrolytic ion transport than its constituent parts, it has excellent electrochemical characteristics. The ZnMoO4/PANI nanocomposite demonstrated outstanding CV stability during the 10000th cycle. The results demonstrated that using ZnMoO4/PANI nanocomposite as energy storage electrode materials would be a desirable and economical strategy.
