Abstract
Fossil fuel utilization leads to environmental pollution and depletion of energy supplies, prompting the preparation of environmentally friend and advanced energy storage devices. In the present research, we synthesize the MnAl2O4/Ni3Se2 nanocomposite via an effective sonication method as supercapacitor electrode material. The MnAl2O4/Ni3Se2 nanocomposite demonstrated a higher specific capacitance (1659.67 F/g), energy density (51.18 Wh/kg) along with a power density (235.6 W/kg) at 1 A/g determined from galvanostatic charge-discharge plot which demonstrated cyclic stability of 25 h over 5000th cycle. Furthermore, compared to pure Ni3Se2 (0.72 Ω), MnAl2O4/Ni3Se2 nanocomposite material exhibited a low charge transfer resistance (0.39 Ω) calculated via the Nyquist plot. The small surface area of Ni3Se2 had been improved with the inclusion of MnAl2O4 in the fabrication of MnAl2O4/Ni3Se2 nanocomposite leading to enhance surface area, more active sites and lower resistance responsible for improvement in nanocomposite electrochemical properties. This work revealed that developed nanocomposite’s energy-storing qualities make it suitable as an electrode material in supercapacitors.
期刊介绍:
The primary objective of the Journal of Sol-Gel Science and Technology (JSST), the official journal of the International Sol-Gel Society, is to provide an international forum for the dissemination of scientific, technological, and general knowledge about materials processed by chemical nanotechnologies known as the "sol-gel" process. The materials of interest include gels, gel-derived glasses, ceramics in form of nano- and micro-powders, bulk, fibres, thin films and coatings as well as more recent materials such as hybrid organic-inorganic materials and composites. Such materials exhibit a wide range of optical, electronic, magnetic, chemical, environmental, and biomedical properties and functionalities. Methods for producing sol-gel-derived materials and the industrial uses of these materials are also of great interest.
