Abstract
Nanostructured CuO/ZnO composite has been prepared by hydrothermal method. The prepared nanocomposite has been investigated by various characterization techniques such as PXRD, FTIR, SEM with EDAX, UV and electrochemical workstation. Structural analysis shows the arrangement of CuO/ZnO, composition of monoclinic CuO with space group of C2/c, and hexagonal ZnO with space group of P63mc. The nanorods like morphology of the nanocomposite have been confirmed by SEM analysis. Optical bandgap of the material has been calculated by Tauc’s plot and obtained bandgap values are 2.83 eV and 2.68 eV, respectively. In GCD analysis, maximum specific capacitance is observed in modified working electrode at scan rate of 1 mA, which continues remarkable cycling stability within the retention ratio of 40.86% after 1000 cycles.
