Abstract

Vast research activities were employed to identify efficient cathode materials for supercapacitor. In this present work, nickel aluminium–layered double hydroxide (NiAl LDH)–decorated vanadium pentoxide (NiAl LDH/V2O5) was prepared via a single-step hydrothermal technique. Here, the systematic analysis has been carried out using various analytical techniques to study phase purity, functional group, morphology, chemical state, and electrochemical properties of the prepared samples. BET results revealed that NiAl LDH/V2O5 hybrid composite displays an optimized surface area of about 277.677 m2 g−1 and pore radius of about 1.617 nm. The electrochemical performance for NiAl LDH/V2O5 composite is high among the prepared samples with a specific capacitance of 1169 Fg−1 at 1 Ag−1 and cyclic stability 91% for 5000 charge-discharge cycles. Furthermore, the asymmetric device was fabricated with rGO as anode and NiAl LDH/V2O5 as cathode, the fabricated device delivered the specific capacitance of 129 Fg−1 at 2 Ag−1, and a better specific power of 4654 W kg−1 at a specific energy of 43.1 W h kg−1 with 93% stability after 10,000 cycles. The better performances of NiAl LDH/V2O5 composite compared to other materials might be due to the enhanced surface area which enhanced the electronic conductivity among the materials by rendering high redox-rich active sites and rapid ionic mobility.
