Sažetak

This study focuses on the synthesis and characterization of zinc cobaltite (ZnCo2O4) as an electrode material for supercapacitor (SC) applications. ZnCo2O4 was synthesized via an efficient sol-gel method, followed by annealing. Morphological and structural character­ri­za­tions revealed that ZnCo2O4 forms as nanoflakes with a well-crystallized structure. Electro­chemical parameters of ZnCo2O4 were examined by various electrochemical techniques in a 3 M KOH aqueous electrolyte. The highest specific capacitance (Csp) of 321 F g-1 was obtained at a current density of 0.8 A g-1. The electrochemical performance of the ZnCo2O4 electrode is superior, owing to its porous nanoflake morphology, which provides numerous active sites and enables substantial charge storage. Moreover, multiple oxidation states of Zn and Co enhance redox reactions at the electrode surface, thereby improving the electrode's pseudocapa­citance. The superior electrochemical performance of ZnCo2O4 indicates that it is a promising cathode material for hybrid SC devices.
