Formation of CMK-3/Co3O4 nanosheets on nickel foam with markedly enhanced pseudocapacitive properties

doi:10.1016/j.jmst.2017.12.018

Abstract

Abstract:

Composites of mesoporous carbon (CMK-3) and Co₃O₄ nanosheets grown on nickel foam were successfully synthesized by a simple route. A bare Co₃O₄ film was synthesized for comparison. With the addition of CMK-3, the Co₃O₄ nanoparticles self-organize and agglomerate into nanosheets, showing a significant influence by CMK-3 on the morphology. The CMK-3/Co₃O₄ exhibits an optimal specific capacitance of 1131.3 F g^-1 in 3 mol L^-1 KOH aqueous electrolyte at 0.5 A g^-1, and a retention ratio of 91% over 3000 cycles, both being much higher than that achieved from the bare Co₃O₄ film (727 F g^-1 of specific capacitance, and 82% capacitance retention ratio), indicating that the CMK-3/Co₃O₄ nanosheets are very promising as electrode materials for supercapacitor applications.

Key words: CMK-3, Nanosheet, Cobalt oxide, Energy storage, Supercapacitor
