Development of flake-rod like SrO thin films via SILAR method for efficient energy storage in supercapacitors
摘要
The SrO thin films electrode was successfully synthesized using the Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) technique, exhibiting a well-defined cubic crystalline structure with an average crystallite size of 18 nm, as confirmed through XRD analysis. The films demonstrated a flake-rod like morphology, which provided a high surface area and facilitated efficient ion diffusion, thereby enhancing their electrochemical performance. Electrochemical measurements revealed a specific capacitance (Cs(cv)) of 599.5 F/g at a sweep rate of 5 mV/s, coupled with outstanding cycling stability, retentive 83.4% of an initial capacitance after 6000 cycles. Additionally, the Ragone plot analysis indicated a good balance between energy density as well power density, underscoring a potential of SrO thin films electrode as a promising material for higher performance supercapacitors.
