摘要

An in-situ precipitation technique was employed in the preparation of Ti3C2Tx/Graphene/NiO electrode. Nitrogen ions of 50 keV were implanted into the electrode at doses of 0, 1015, 1016, and 1017 ions/cm2 and characterized. The structural patterns demonstrated that the addition of nitrogen ions enhanced its crystalline properties, creating vacancies that make it well-suited for super-capacitance applications. The basic elements with their functional groups were present in their respective spectra. The nitrogen ions revealed an ion range of 1229 Å with clouds of nanoclusters. Optical properties showed high absorbance and lower band gap energies at higher irradiation levels. The surface chemistry of the composites was investigated by the use of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) technique. The highest recorded specific capacitance, energy density, and power density values recorded at different scan rates were 781.25 F/g, 403 Wh/kg, and 1443 W/kg. The obtained results make the synthesized composite electrodes useful for optical and supercapacitor applications.
