Synergistic CuCo2O4/MWCNT nanocomposites: advanced electrode materials for energy storage and catalysis applications
Abstract The CuCo 2 O 4 and CuCo 2 O 4 /MWCNT nanocomposites were synthesized using hydrothermal techniques as an electrode material for supercapacitor applications. Structural characterization, including XRD, SEM, and EDX, confirmed the successful fabrication of nanocomposites. Electrochemical analysis revealed that CuCo 2 O 4 /MWCNTs exhibit excellent oxygen (OER) and hydrogen (HER) evolution catalytic activity, with enhanced cyclic stability, high-rate capability, and better specific capacitance compared to pure CuCo 2 O 4 electrodes. The synergistic interaction between CuCo 2 O 4 and MWCNTs significantly improves electrochemical performance, highlighting the potential of these nanocomposites as an electrode material for energy storage and electrocatalytic applications.
