Hydrothermally synthesized Mo-doped MnV2O4 electrode materials for supercapacitor applications
摘要
Supercapacitors (SCs) play an important role in fulfilling the rising energy demands. It is necessary to design such electrode materials which have strong electrocapacitive nature in order to increase the performance of metal oxide-based SCs. Recently, a large number of articles have been published for the synthesis of electrode materials for SCs. Ternary metal oxide (TMOs) possess multiple oxidation states and higher super capacitive performance than single component metal oxides. This study presents pure and Mo-doped MnV2O4 ternary metal oxides synthesized by employing hydrothermal method. The synthesized materials were used for assembling symmetric SC device. The MnV2O4 and MnV0.98Mo0.02O2 delivers a good specific capacitance of 497.27 Fg−1 and 573.21 Fg−1 at 5 mVs−1, respectively. The fabricated device possesses a high energy density of 24.86 Wh kg−1 at a power density of 341.63 Wkg−1 for MnV2O4 and 28.66 Whkg−1 at a power density 318.45 Wkg−1 for MnV0.98Mo0.02O2 sample. Both the samples possess high BET surface area of 67.51 and 87.76 m2/g. Moreover, the fabricated device exhibit excellent cyclic stability of 92.6% for pure sample and 96.1% for Mo doped sample at 5 Ag−1 after 5000 cycles. This study represents a next-generation electrode material for high energy storage devices as the developed material demonstrates promising SCs properties.
