Overview
With the anticipated increase in the renewable wind and solar energy supercapacitors with high specific capacitance and cycle stability have increasing demands to balance the energy storage requirements. NiCo2O4 based electrode materials with excellent electrochemical performance and high theoretical specific capacitance values serve as emerging tool for various applications like HEV’s and back-up systems. Further, electrodeposition is a cost-effective mode of synthesis both with respect to the materials employed and the equipment used. The technology aims at the synthesis of binder free electrodeposited NiCo2O4 electrode materials for supercapacitors along with the fabrication of device for practical applications
