Facile Synthesis of CuFe2O4/CuO-Ti3C2Tx Composite for Supercapacitor Electrode Material

Abstract

Energy generation from renewable energy assets is beneficial to overcome the energy crises. The efficient development of electrochemical cell and electrochemical energy storage devices is crucial for this purpose. In this research, the synthesis of CuFe2O4/CuO, Ti3C2Tx and CuFe2O4/CuO-Ti3C2TX composite is reported. The composition, morphology and structure of synthesized material was confirmed by XRD, Raman, FTIR and SEM . The Electrochemical measurements indicate that CuFe2O4/CuO-Ti3C2TX composite exhibited highest specific capacitance 1779 F/g at 1A/g current density at 0.46 V vs Ag/AgCl potential as compared to pristine Ti3C2Tx (1060 F/g at 1 A/g C.D) and CuFe2O4/CuO (1026 F/g at1 A/g C.D). The hybrid composite CuFe2O4/CuO-Ti3C2TX was stable and maintained the capacitive retention of 97.3% and coloumbic efficiency of 98.9%. This indicated the successful synthesis of material CuFe2O4/CuO-Ti3C2TX for electrochemical energy storage application.
