Investigating the properties of co-precipitated nickel cobalt phosphate (NiCoP) nanoparticles for energy storage applications

ORAL

Abstract

Nickel cobalt phosphate (NiCoP) nanoparticles were synthesized by a co-precipitation method at

concentrations of 0.1 M, 0.2 M, 0.3 M, 0.4 M, and 0.5 M. Drop-casting method was utilized in

depositing the nanoparticles on the substrate surface to ensure uniform distribution on the substrate

surface. Various analytical techniques including XRD, SEM, EDX, Raman spectroscopy, and

electrochemical measurements were employed to comprehensively understand the structural,

morphological, elemental, vibrational, and electrochemical properties of the synthesized nanoparticles.

Results indicate amorphous phases for all samples, with nanoflake-like morphology observed via

SEM, and constituent elements confirmed through EDXanalysis. Raman spectroscopy validates the

composition, while electrochemical measurements demonstrate the NiCoP electrodes’ promising

utility in energy storage, particularly with the 0.1Melectrode exhibiting a maximum specific

capacitance of 91.2 F g−1 and stability over 3000 cycles. Overall, the findings highlight the potential

applications of NiCoP nanoparticles in energy storage and electrochemical devices, providing valuable

insights for researchers in the field.
