Herein, we are reporting a simple, economic, easy to handle, scalable and reproducible mechanochemical i.e. rotational chemical bath deposition (R-CBD) approach for synthesis of well adhered nano-flakes ZnFe2O4 thin films (NFs-ZnFe2O4) with uniform morphology on stainless steel (SS) substrate, in comparison with nano-grain ZnFe2O4 thin films (NGs-ZnFe2O4) prepared using conventional CBD approach. The influence of rotation on the evolution of nano-flakes morphology in NFs-ZnFe2O4 is also investigated. The porous NFs-ZnFe2O4 thin films demonstrated excellent pseudocapacitor properties with higher specific capacitance 768 Fg -1 at high current density 5 mA cm -2 , stability upto 5000 cycles (88% retention), higher energy density (106 Wh kg -1 ) and power density (18 kW kg -1 ) compared to NGs-ZnFe2O4. The results were also found to be higher than those reported earlier for MFe2O4 based systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
