Abstract
Nanostructured nickel molybdate (NiMoO4), used as a supercapacitor electroactive material, was grown through a two-step process including cathodic galvanostatic electrochemical deposition on a nickel foam (NF) current collector followed by calcination heat treatment. The structure and surface morphology of the resulting nickel molybdate electrode were evaluated using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), nitrogen adsorption and desorption measurements, and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). Additionally, the supercapacitor performance of the nickel molybdate electrode was investigated using Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), Galvanostatic Charge-Discharge (GCD), Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), and cycle stability measurements. In summary, the prepared binder-free nickel molybdate electrode demonstrated good electrochemical performance, including a high specific capacitance of 676 F g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1, high rate capability (45% capacity retention with a 10-fold increase in the discharge current rate), and excellent cyclic stability (89.1% capacity retention after 2000 cycles at 5 A g-1).
