▎ 摘 要
In this article, we report the fabrication and electrochemical performance of asymmetric supercapacitors (ASCs) based on a reduced graphene oxide (rGO) negative electrode and a cobalt molybdate (CoMoO4) positive electrode. The rGO and CoMoO4 electrode materials were synthesized by hydrothermal and sonochemical methods, respectively. Physico-chemical characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm analysis were used to characterize the electrode materials. The rGO nanosheets and CoMoO4 nanostructures delivered a specific capacitance of about 168.8 and 98.34 F g(-1), respectively measured in a three electrode system. The rGO parallel to CoMoO4 ASC device demonstrated a maximum specific capacitance of 26.16 F g(-1) (at a current density of 0.5 mA cm(-2)), an energy density of 8.17 W h kg(-1), and a maximum working voltage of 1.5 V. The fabricated device possessed excellent capacitance retention of about 85% after 4000 cycles (at a current density of 1.0 mA cm(-2)) suggesting the superior cyclic stability of the fabricated ASC device.
