Description
Summary:In this work, spinel NiMn2O4 was successfully synthesized through microwave assisted co-precipitation method and followed by calcination at 500°C. The crystal structure and the presence of functional groups in NiMn2O4 were characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The surface morphology was examined by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE SEM). From the BET analysis surface area and average pore diameter of the mesoporous NMO nanoparticles are calculated to be 10.513 m2g-1and 8.55nm. The electrochemical performance of material as electrode material for supercapacitor applications was analysed by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The specific capacitance of the NMO electrode increased from 290.56 F/g to 751.57F/g with increase concentration from IM KOH to 6M KOH at scan rate of 5mV/s. These results indicate spinel NiMn2O4 as a promising candidate for high performance energy storage applications.
