Facile electrochemical synthesis of new ternary mixed metal oxide: characterization and energy storage studies

Nowdays, much of interest were focused on supercapacitors as one of energy storage devices due to their high power density, long life services and good cycleability. Much effort have focused on development of electrode materials to fabricating of supercapacitors with better performance [1]. Doping of two or more metals is one of the key ways to increase the saturation magnetization of oxide samples. Presence of two different transition metal ions simultaneously in a host material produces magnetic property that can be different from the magnetic property due to single transition metal ions [2]. On the other hand, using a facile and cost effective sythesis method is essential. Cathodic electrodeposition is an efficient route for synthesis of high pure mixed metal hydroxide/oxides. In this work, nano ternary metal oxide of Mn-Ce-Al was synthesized by means of cathodic electrodeposition method. The nano-structure characterization was studied by variety of methods including X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The ternary metal oxide will be used for fabricating supercapacitors.
