Hydrothermal synthesis of Nd2O3/g-CN hybrid electrode material hybrid supercapacitor applications
摘要
The exhaustion of fossil fuels and its harmful effects on human health demand the development of alternate sources for energy generation such as supercapacitors (SCs) as useful resources for energy storage with high-power delivery. This study reports a straightforward hydrothermal route for the synthesis of Nd2O3, (graphitic carbon nitride) g-CN, and Nd2O3/g-CN hybrid materials. The Nd2O3 nanoparticles observed hexagonal structure phase was confirmed through X-ray diffraction analysis. The morphological characteristics of Nd2O3/g-CN hybrid are observed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) which showed that the addition of g-CN in Nd2O3 nanoparticle removed the agglomeration of nanoparticles, and the nanosheets morphology of g-CN enhanced the surface area. Nd2O3/g-CN hybrid demonstrated specific capacitance (Csp) of 960 F/g at 1 A/g ( for the prepared nanohybrid structure, which showed stability even after 5000 cycles. The results confirm the exceptional electrochemical properties of Nd2O3/g-CN hybrid and show their suitability for use in energy storage technologies.
