摘要

The growing demand for efficient energy storage systems has spotlighted electrochemical supercapacitors as promising candidates. This study focuses on the synthesis of ZnFe₂O₄ thin films via spray pyrolysis at varying substrate temperatures, and investigates their structural, morphological, elemental, optical, and electrochemical properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the formation of a cubic spinel structure, while field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) revealed a spherical nanogranular morphology. Electrochemical testing demonstrated that films deposited at 400 °C achieved the highest specific capacitance of 349 F g⁻1 at 1 mA cm⁻2 current density. Furthermore, the films retained 79.78% of their capacitance after 5000 cycles at 5 mA cm⁻2 current density. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) revealed a low solution resistance of 0.34 Ω and a charge transfer resistance of 12.30 Ω. These findings underscore the potential of ZnFe₂O₄ thin films as high-performance electrode materials for supercapacitor applications.
