Abstract

The aim of the present investigation is to study the effect of calcination temperature on the electrochemical performance of MnMoO4 nanoparticles, which are synthesized using a facile and time-saving microwave-assisted annealing technique. The prepared samples are calcinated at 300 °C, 500 °C, and 700 °C for 3 h. The microporous morphology is obtained when the MnMoO4 nanoparticles are calcinated at 500 °C. The electrode prepared with MnMoO4 nanoparticles exhibited a remarkable-specific capacity of 1613 C g−1 and 1549 C g−1 at 10 mV s−1 and 2 A g−1, respectively. An asymmetric supercapacitor is fabricated by depositing MnMoO4 nanoparticles and activated carbon on Ni-foam as positive and negative electrodes, respectively. The device demonstrated a magnificent energy density of 68 W h kg−1 at 850 W kg−1 and displayed an excellent cycling stability of 139% after 5000 cycles.
