A versatile non-precious metal based electrode material endowed by layer-on-layer structure for methanol oxidation and supercapacitor applications

A high-performance non -noble metal -based electrode is the need of the hour to resolve the challenge of huge energy demand. Energy conversion and storage devices are the two ways to tackle this challenge. In this context, porous and non -noble metal -based electrodes NiCo2O4 (NCO), NiCo2O4/NiO (CNO...

In this context, porous and non -noble metal -based electrodes NiCo2O4 (NCO), NiCo2O4/NiO (CNO) and NiCo2O4/NiO/rGO (CNOG) are developed as a bifunctional electrode for supercapacitor and methanol fuel cell applications.

The solid-state symmetric supercapacitor (SSSC) using PVA/KOH electrolyte allows broader potential window, thereby outperforming the aqueous electrolyte. The SSSC exhibits specific capacitance of 88.8 F/g, energy and power density 20.84 Wh/kg and 1003 W/kg respectively at the same current density.
