Escalation of NiO/ZnO Nanocomposites Acts as an Electrode in Super Capacitor Applications
A nanocomposite of zinc oxide doped with nickel oxide (NiO/ZnO) may enhance the electrochemical characteristics of capacitors .This work evaluates the facile sol-gel, solid state, and thermal hydrolysis procedures for producing NiO/ZnO nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) were used to examine the impact of the synthesis methods on the structural, functional, and morphological characteristics of NiO/ZnO products. The thermal hydrolysis method confirmed the high purity of NiO/ZnO peaks. The FTIR studies were adopted for the purpose of establishing the M–O groups, and morphological analyses were conducted to determine the thermal hydrolysis methods results. The results showed that NiO/ZnO nanocomposites made by hydrothermal technique might be used as possible electrode materials for high-efficiency super capacitors.
