High performance hybrid supercapacitor based on NiMoO4 nanoparticles embedded carbon nanofiber

In this article, a highly flexible electrochemical supercapacitor was developed based on a novel metal oxide-carbon nanofiber composite electrode. NiMoO4-Carbon nanofiber composite electrodes were synthesized by a solution-based electrospinning technique. Results showed that the electrospinning process leads to formation of uniform structured nanofibers, without any beads or agglomerations. The synthesized composites were used as electrode in symmetric supercapacitors. According to the electrochemical studies the supercapacitor with the composite electrode containing 75% (wt.) NiMoO4 displayed a high specific capacity of 122.5 Fg-1 at 1 Ag-1.
