Abstract
Abstract This article presents the effect of polyaniline (PANI) embedded copper cobaltite (CuCo2O4) as an electrode material for high performance supercapacitor application. The composite of PANI-CuCo2O4 was prepared via blending process. The formation of PANI-CuCo2O4 composite was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis. The surface morphologies showed that the spinel structure of CuCo2O4 (average particle size of 30 nm) was well distributed on {PANI} matrix, suggest the effective intercalation of CuCo2O4 with {PANI} matrix. The electrochemical properties of CuCo2O4, {PANI} and PANI-CuCo2O4 composite were investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in 1 M of {KOH} as an aqueous electrolyte. The PANI-CuCo2O4 composite showed the improved specific capacitance of 403C/g than that of pure CuCo2O4 and PANI.The enhanced electrochemical performance was obtained due to the augmentation of redox active sites and synergetic effect between {PANI} and CuCo2O4 nanoparticles. Additionally, the fabricated (activated carbon (AC)/PANI-CuCo2O4) asymmetric supercapacitor device can be cycled reversibly at a cell voltage of 1.5 V, which exhibited excellent electrochemical performances with an energy density of 76 Wh/kg and a power density of 599 W/kg. It also presented a superior life cycle with 94% capacitance retention after 3000 cycles.
