摘要

The synthesis of economical nanocomposites for energy preservation technologies, particularly supercapacitors, has drawn significant research interest. The use of biomass-derived carbon offers a more cost-effective and effective synthesis approach than expensive commercial carbon sources, making it suitable for extensive energy applications.In this study, active carbon obtained from walnut shells (ACWS) was synthesized through KOH activation, which was then combined with NiMn2O4, among the most beneficial spinel metal oxides, to evaluate electrode material’s effectiveness in energy conservation. NiMn2O4/ACWS showed specific capacitance (Cs) of 846.15 F g−1, while investigation indicated energy density (Ed) of 18.42 Wh kg−1 and high-power density (Pd) of 206 W kg−1 at 1 A g−1. A low solution resistance (Rs) value (0.74 Ω) seen in Nyquist diagram indicated remarkable conductivity of NiMn2O4/ACWS. Additionally, revealed remarkable stability in a KOH electrolyte (3.0 M KOH) throughout 3000th cycles of cyclic voltammetry. An asymmetric two-electrode investigation was also carried out, and the results demonstrated an enhanced Ed of 57.51 Wh kg−1 and Pd of 714 W kg−1. Based on this study, NiMn2O4/ACWS is a viable and inexpensive electrode material for supercapacitor application in future.
