SUPERCAPACITORS
Supercapacitors are electrochemical energy
storage devices that store and release energy by
reversible adsorption and desorption of ions at the
interfaces between electrode material and
electrolytes. The characteristic feature of
Supercapacitors are

1. High energy density

2. High power density
3. High Capacitance
4. Longer Life
WORKING OF A SUPERCAPACITOR
A Supercapacitor works by
storing electric charges
between two electrostatic
double layers created by the
formation of thin charge layer
on the Electrode-Electrolyte
interface. Nanomaterials based
supercapacitors are used to
increase the electrode surface
area so as to achieve high
performance and enhanced
capacitance.
TYPES OF SUPERCAPACITOR
1. DOUBLE LAYER
SUPERCAPACITOR SUPERCAPACITORS
Capacitors which can store
charges electrostatically
DOUBLE LAYER
PSEUDOCAPACITOR
2. PSEUDOCAPACITOR SUPERCAPACITOR

Capacitors that can store

charges electrochemically
HYBRID CAPACITOR
3. HYBRID
SUPERCAPACITOR

It stores charges in both ways

HYDROTHERMAL SYNTHESIS
The hydrothermal method is a synthesis technique that involves the
reaction of substances in an aqueous solution at elevated temperatures
and pressures. This process is conducted in a sealed vessel, promoting the
formation of high-quality materials, particularly metal oxides and
nanomaterials. Hydrothermal methods are preferred for their simplicity,
low-temperature operations, and ability to produce well-defined
structures, making them widely utilized in the fabrication of various
materials for applications in energy storage, catalysis, and
nanotechnology.
Further, the prepared material will undergo characterization technique such as

1. X-Ray diffraction Analysis

2. Scanning Electron Microscopy
3. Transmission Electron Microscopy
4. Raman Microscopy
5. FTIR Microscopy

Following successful synthesis and characterization, electrodes using CoMn2O4

nanomaterial are prepared, and their performance for supercapacitor applications
is assessed through studies like Cyclic Voltammetry, Electrochemical Impedance
Spectroscopy, and Galvanostatic Charge/Discharge Cycling. This exploration
aims to evaluate the potential of CoMn2O4 in enhancing supercapacitor
functionality.
