Effect of aqueous electrolytes on NiV2O6 electrode material for improved supercapacitor performance
摘要
Nickel vanadium oxide (NiV2O6) nanoparticles were synthesized by rheological phase reaction (RPR) and characterized by XRD, XPS, SEM and TEM. Employing the two-electrode set up, the electrochemical response of NiV2O6 was examined in the electrolytic solutions viz.,1.0 M H2SO4, 1.0 M KOH and 1.0 M Na2SO4. The NiV2O6 electrode showed a capacitance of 324 Fg− 1 at a current density of 0.5 Ag− 1. The electrode demonstrated a significant cycle stability in 1.0 M H2SO4 electrolyte compared to that in other electrolytes. After 7000 cycles, the electrode retained 97.99% of its capacitance with an energy density of 10.12 Whkg− 1 and a power density of 346.97 Wkg− 1. These notable electrochemical properties of NiV2O6 revealed that it could be considered as a potential electrode material for aqueous supercapacitors.
