Application of Iron Oxide in Supercapacitor

Abstract

Iron oxide nanostructures have been considered very promising material as electrode in electrochemical energy storage devices because of their lower cost of synthesis and high theoretical charge storage capacity. Iron oxide nanoparticles and their nanocomposites have performed excellent in supercapacitor. Iron oxide as negative electrode has extended the working voltage window of a supercapacitor. The main problems associated with iron oxide based electrodes are their poor electrical conductivity and cycle stability. Therefore, a conductive carbon matrix has been added to the iron oxide based electrodes to improve the electrochemical performance. In this chapter, recent progress on iron oxide and its composite with different materials as electrode in supercapacitor is summarized. The various synergistic effects of nanocomposites and compositional engineering to enhance the electrochemical performance of iron oxide are also discussed.

High‐performance symmetric supercapacitor using cost‐efficient iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles

“…In this article, symmetric supercapacitor (SSC) is fabricated using Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles (NPs) because of their high electrochemical activity, high stability, high abundance, low cost, and environmental friendliness. Fe 3 O 4 NPs are synthesized using a co‐precipitation method because of its control over nanomaterials' morphology, crystal structure, and shape 20 . The present investigation comprises several electrochemical characterizations that provide insight into the electrochemical properties of Fe 3 O 4 NPs based symmetric supercapacitors.…”
