A systematic study was performed to examine the effects of surfactant content and synthesis temperature on the morphologies and the redox properties of cobalt molybdate (CoMoO 4 ).Results revealed that while varying the concentration of surfactant (F127) the morphology varies from nanorods, to nanospheres and nanoneedles. The concentration of metal to surfactant ratio with 1:1 outperform in specific capacitance, energy density and cycling stability than that of 1:0.5 and 1:2 ratios. The surfactant at the optimised ratio significantly influenced the morphology and particle size of the CoMoO 4 material and act as a template whereas increasing the synthetic temperature did not contribute much to the energy storage. and energy density of 21 W h · kg -1 when tested as a hybrid device. This suggests the redox activity and its storage capability depend on the surfactant content as well as it's selfassembly behaviour. CoMoO 4 showed excellent cycling stability retaining over 75 % of its initial capacitance after 2000 cycles which makes it a very promising candidate for large scale energy storage applications.
