Abstract
•Synthesis of nanoplatelet, nano urchin-flower and nanosphere Ni-MoO4.•Formation of different morphology employing cetyltrimethylammonium bromide.•Ni-MoO4 nanoplatelet exhibits superior electrochemical performance.
A simple approach was adapted to synthesis nanoplatelet, nano urchin-flower and nanosphere NiMoO4 by employing cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as a capping agent. Product pseudocapacitive property was studied by measuring suitable parameters. SEM studies revealed diverse morphology of NiMoO4 nanoplatelet, nano urchin-flower and nanosphere within nanoscale region. Electrochemical studies explored the better electrode behavior of NiMoO4 nanoplatelet (RC1) with specific capacitance of 178F/g at 10mV/s scan rate and 110F/g at 100mV/s scan rate. A Nyquist spectrum of products (RC1, RC2 and RC3) also revealed the better pseudocapacitive performance of NiMoO4.
