Abstract
In this work, a synthesis of cubic-like CoMn2O4 uniform nanostructures with KOH-NaOH involved in the hydrothermal method has been reported. The crystal structure phase purity, functional groups, and morphology of the CoMn2O4 have been investigated by X‑ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) analyses. The electrochemical behaviour of CoMn2O4 electroactive material has been examined for supercapacitors. The electrode displays excellent capacitive behaviour with superior electrochemical properties. The cubic-like morphology structure with enough free space is beneficial for improving electrochemical performance. The CoMn2O4 electrode exhibits a faradaic capacitance with the highest specific capacitance value of 762.4 F g-1 at a scan rate of 5 mV s-1. The coulombic efficiency of the CoMn2O4 electrode was found to be 91.2 % after 2000 charging-discharging cycles. The nanostructures of CoMn2O4 make a prominent contrib0ution to the excellent electrochemical performance of the prepared electrode.
