Influence of heat-treatment temperature on the improvement of the electrochemical performance of CoMoO4 nanomaterials for hybrid supercapacitor application

초록

The rational design and construction of nanostructured materials have a great impact on the development of high-performance advanced electrode materials, which has attracted extensive attention to improve reliable and efficient energy storage devices. Herein, we report vertically aligned CoMoO4 nanoflakes with interconnected network-like porous structures as Faradic battery-type electrode materials for the advancement of supercapacitors (SCs). The nanoarchitecture CoMoO4 electrode materials were effectively fabricated through simple hydrothermal method and subsequent heat-treatment under different temperatures. Further, the effect of heattreatment on the electrodes materials' structural, morphological, and electrochemical properties were investigated by utilizing various characterization techniques. The unique nanoarchitecture of the 400 degrees C heat-treated CoMoO4 (CMO1) endows a facile pathway for the fast diffusion of the electrolyte ions and mass transfer reaction. Interestingly, the CMO1 (400 degrees C) electrode exhibits the specific capacity of 499 C g-1, which is higher than those of the CMO2 (500 degrees C) of 385 C g-1 and CMO3 (600 degrees C) of 260 C g-1, respectively. Furthermore, the hybrid supercapacitor (HSC) tailored with CMO1 as a positrode and activated carbon as a negatrode delivers a high specific capacitance of 102 F g-1 with excellent energy and power densities of 31.61 W h kg-1 and 19.29 kW kg-1, respectively.
