摘要

Energy storage has become an essential need for today’s applications. Thus, the development of capacitors and their materials has gotten great attention. In this study, a high mass loading (2 mg cm−2) NiMn2O4/carbon felt (CF-NMO) was fabricated using a hydrothermal process and used as a new material for a pseudo-capacitive electrode having a potential window of 0.65 V. Several analytical techniques were employed to confirm the structure, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photon spectroscopy (XPS). The spinel oxide distribution and surface morphology were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmitted electron microscopy (TEM). The activity of the modified CF-NMO was investigated in 1.0 M NaOH. The prepared electrode reached a capacitance of 301 F g−1 at the current density of 1 mA g−1. Furthermore, the electrode’s durability was investigated for 2000 cycles at 5 mA g−1, and the provided capacitance retention was ~ 85% compared to the 1st cycle. Also, the rate capability was estimated to be 69% in the current range from 1 to 5 mA cm−2.
