Supercapacitors can be useful in many fields of modern technology due to
their high energy storage capacity and fast charge-discharge cycle. It
is replacing conventional electrical energy storage devices such as
capacitors and batteries. The supercapacitor electrodes are efficient
for sustainable energy storage and conversions due to their long
lifespan and high cyclic rate. Recently, supercapacitors are used in
every field of technology like transportation, consumer electronics,
electrical instruments, wearable and portable devices, etc. Cobalt
hydroxide thin films were prepared by the electrochemical deposition of
CoCl2, Co(NO3)2, and Co(OAc)2 onto stainless steel (SS) substrate. The
cobalt-based chemical compounds of 0.1M electrolyte solution is prepared
in 100ml double distilled water at room temperature. Further,
structural, morphological and capacitive properties were studied. In
addition, the electrochemical characteristics of the obtained cobalt
hydroxide thin films were determined experimentally to predict their
application efficiency in advanced energy storage devices such as
supercapacitors.
