Abstract:We successfully synthesised nickel vanadate (NiVO3) nanocomposite by an inexpensive hydrothermal technique. Several analytical methods have been employed to characterise the synthesised nanocomposite. The crystal structure of NiVO3 is orthorhombic, and its crystallite size is around 10.3 nm. The NiVO3 nanocomposite has an optical band gap of 2.62 eV from the absorption spectra analysis. At a current density of 5 Ag-1, the NiVO3 nanocomposite exhibits a specific capacitance value of 398 Fg-1 and a retention rat… Show more
