Complex composite nanomaterials have recently received
attention
because of their enhanced electrochemical performance compared to
single-structured materials. In this study, we synthesized calcium
molybdate (CaMoO4) particles with a spherical shape and
conducted surface modification to fabricate composite heterostructures
on the CaMoO4 backbone using a simple two-step hydrothermal
technique. To test their electrochemical characteristics, the produced
hierarchical heterostructures were used as an electrode material for
supercapacitors, exhibiting a cycling efficiency of 94% after 5000
cycles, a specific capacitance of 586 C g–1 at a
current density of 1 A g–1, and good reversibility.
These results demonstrate that the development of hierarchical heterostructures
can significantly improve the electrochemical properties of materials
by creating well-defined interfaces, increasing the surface area,
and promoting efficient charge transfer, making them highly attractive
for various applications in the field of energy storage and conversion.
