Nanoscale synthesis of nickel oxide@carboxy methyl cellulose@nitrogen doped carbon nanotubes supported metal organic frameworks ternary composite for use symmetric supercapacitor

Abstract

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a novel class of porous materials that combine organic linkers and inorganic metal ions. Supercapacitors use a large specific surface area, adjustable architecture, and tunable porosity and pore diameters to improve the electrochemical performances with metal sulfides. The main goal of this study was to make a nickel oxide ternary composite using a hydrothermal method with urea as a catalyst for electrochemical uses. We characterized these fabricated composite materials using analytical and morphological characterization for their confirmation. These results show that the composite electrode had a great specific capacitance of 464 F/g at 0.5 A/g in a 1 M KOH electrolyte when set up with three electrodes. The symmetric two-electrode system showed 52.83 F/g at 0.5 A/g with an excellent energy density of 13.14 Whkg-1 and a power density of 616 Wkg-1 via 1 M KOH electrolyte. The fabricated ternary composite electrode demonstrated cyclic stability, with an excellent retention rate of 89 % after 7000 cycles. Therefore, the fabricated ternary composite electrode materials have enormous potential for electrochemical storage properties.
