TiO2 coated MWCNT decorated by Fe3O4 nanoparticle as electrode material for Supercapacitor Application

Abstract

TiO2 coated multi wall carbon nanotube (TiCN) and Fe3O4 based electrode material for the application in electro chemical devices has been produced through a simple approach. Morphological and electro chemical properties of the prepared nanocomposites were determined through field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) and impedance analysis, respectively. Sol-gel technique was hired to synthesize TiCN and in-situ chemical co-precipitation technique was used for the formation of magnetite particles (Fe3O4) on the surface of acid-modified multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT). Maximum specific capacitance obtained from CV is 221 F/g.
