In the present work, Copper cobaltites (CuCo 2 O 4 ) were efficiently developed by the CTAB-assisted sonochemical process succeeded by calcination at 350 °C for 3 h. The differential scanning calorimetric analysis results showed that all the reactions ended at 300 °C. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction results established the formation of spinel CuCo 2 O 4 /CuO. The morphological analytic results exposed that CuCo 2 O 4 possesses both the nanorods and nanoparticles structure. Furthermore, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronopotentiometric (CP) methods were used to evaluate the electrochemical properties of various CuCo 2 O 4 formed. It is observed that the freshly prepared CuCo 2 O 4 electrodes exhibit a very high specific capacitance of 811 Fg -1 at a scan rate of 5 mV s -1 and also demonstrates superior cycling stability retaining 91% of the initial capacitance even after 3000 continuous CV cycles. Hence, typical CuCo 2 O 4 could be considered as an important electrode material for supercapacitor applications.
