Correction for 'One-step synthesis and electrochemical performance of a PbMoO4/CdMoO4 composite as an electrode material for high-performance supercapacitor applications' by Tarugu Anitha et al., Dalton Trans., 2019, 48, 10652-10660.
ABSTRACT
Homogeneously ultrathin nanocubes of PbMoO4/CdMoO4 nanocomposites, which are useful for energy storage applications, were prepared on nickel foam using a one-step chemical bath deposition method. The capacitive performance of the synthesized PbMoO4/CdMoO4 electrode material was examined by cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge/discharge, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in a three-electrode configuration. This unique structure can provide more electroactive sites and a larger surface area, which can enhance the electrochemical performance. The PbMoO4/CdMoO4 redox-active material achieved a high specific capacitance of 1840.32 F g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1 in a 3 M KOH solution. This electrode exhibited excellent long cycle life stability with â¼81.4% specific capacitance retention after 5000 cycles at a current density of 4 A g-1, which is superior to that of individual PbMoO4 and CdMoO4 nanosheets. The prepared PbMoO4/CdMoO4 composite electrode displayed excellent electrocapacitive properties, which can be attributed to the synergetic effects of PbMoO4 and CdMoO4. These results suggest that the PbMoO4/CdMoO4 nanocube arrays have the potential to meet the requirements of practical electrochemical energy storage applications.
ABSTRACT
NF/ZnOx nanocone and NF/CoOx nanoparticle electrode materials were fabricated on a nickel foam surface using a simple chemical bath deposition approach and assessed as an electrode material for high-performance supercapacitors (SCs). The electrochemical properties of the NF/ZnOx and NF/CoOx electrodes were examined by cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge tests, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The fabricated NF/ZnOx and NF/CoOx SCs devices exhibited a good specific capacitance of 2437 and 2142 F g-1 at a current density of 20 mA g-1, respectively, in a three electrode system. Furthermore, the NF/ZnOx and NF/CoOx electrode materials showed acceptable long cycle-life stability with 97.8% and 95.8% specific capacitance retention after 3000 cycles at a current density of 22 mA g-1 in a 2 M aqueous KOH solution. Furthermore, the NF/ZnOx and NF/CoOx SCs showed a high energy density of 54.15 W h kg-1 and 47.6 W h kg-1 at a power density of 499.8 W kg-1 and 571.2 W kg-1, respectively, with maximum operating voltage of 0.5 V. Overall, NF/ZnOx and NF/CoOx electrode materials are promising electrodes for electrochemical energy storage applications.
ABSTRACT
In this study, we report a facile two-step fabrication of honeycomb-like NiMoO4@NiWO4 nanocomposites on Ni foam as the electrode for high-performance supercapacitor applications. Structural characterization and compositional analysis of the as-prepared NiMoO4@NiWO4 nanocomposites was performed using scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge cycling, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The electrochemical properties of the as-synthesized NiMoO4@NiWO4 nanocomposites were studied in a 3 M KOH electrolyte solution for application as electrode material of supercapacitors. A maximum specific capacitance of 1290 F g-1 was achieved for NiMoO4@NiWO4 at a current density of 2 A g-1. This electrode exhibits excellent long cycle-life stability with 93.1% specific capacitance retention after 3000 cycles at a current density of 6 A g-1. Our studies indicate that the as-synthesized NiMoO4@NiWO4 nanocomposites could be a promising candidate as the electrode material in high-performance electrochemical energy storage applications.
