Abstract

A hybrid nanocomposite of zinc vanadate/cobalt oxide (Zn3(VO4)2/CoO at ratios of 90/10, 80/20, 50/50, and 20/80) was obtained using a simple co-precipitation technique, then calcinated for 4 hrs at 400°C. The surface morphological, vibrational, and structural characteristics of the synthesized hybrid nanocomposites were examined. According to the structural study, orthorhombic Zn3(VO4)2 and cubic crystal systems of CoO with space groups Fm-3m were formed. The functional groups of Zinc Vanadate/Cobalt Oxide were examined using FTIR spectroscopy. A scanning electron microscopy (SEM) study reveals the nanosheets structures with the size of 200 nm. The chemical composition and formation of the Zn3(VO4)2/CoO composites were confirmed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The electrochemical performance of the hybrid nanocomposites was assessed through CV, GCD and impedance analysis. Among the nanocomposites, Zn3(VO4)2/CoO 80/20 exhibited a high specific capacitance value of 564.36 Fg-1 and retaining 97% of their total capacitance even after 3000 cycles.
