Fabrication of carbon-coated chromium nitride (CrN@C) and chromium oxynitride (CrON) nanoparticles by a thermal plasma technique for supercapacitor applications

“…The experimental setup of the thermal plasma arc discharge system has been discussed in our pervious publication. 40 In brief, a graphite anode/cathode, 15 kW power source, a chilling unit and a double-walled stainless-steel reactor are all interconnected with a plasma chamber. A rotary pump was employed to create a vacuum.…”

“…The gravimetric specific capacitance was calculated using the related GCD curves (see eqn (1)). 40 where m is the mass of active materials (CrN@C and CrON NPs), I and Δ t are the discharge current density (A g −1 ) and discharge time respectively, Δ V is the potential window and C s is the specific capacitance (F g −1 ).…”
