The electrochemical properties of NiCo2O4 for using as electrode materials for the potential applications have been investigated by electrochemical measurement which composed of cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic chargedischarge (GCD). These processes are generating the ion exchange between the electrode and electrolyte, wherein induce the surface change of the interface. Especially, since in the cycle ability measurement using the potentiostat needed to repeat the cycle into the electrode for many times, the effective of the electrode is reduced. In this research, digital holographic technique was used to investigate the different properties of interface of the NiCo2O4 electrode while operating under the various electrochemical techniques. In our DH recording, the surface change of the electrode was expose at the difference potential scan rate at 1, 5, 10, 50, 100 and 200 mV/s of CV, and the difference current densities at 1, 2, 3, 5, 10 and 20 A/g of GCD and vary times of cycle ability test every 50 cycle times to 1000 cycles. In the end the reconstructed DH images of the electrode have been used to analyze the results from electrochemical measurement.
This research investigated the preparation, characterization and supercapacitive properties of cobalt oxide-nickel oxide (CoO-NiO) microflowers incorporated with graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanosheets. These hybrid materials were easily prepared through a direct mixing of CoO-NiO powder suspended in acidic solution with the appropriate amount of GO and RGO loading to make CoO-NiO/GO and CoO-NiO/RGO hybrid samples, respectively. Then, the obtained hybrid samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) techniques. The results demonstrated that the crystalline phases and functional groups of all hybrid samples are corresponding to pristine CoO-NiO and RGO. SEM results showed that the CoO-NiO microflowers were impregnated and well-combined with both GO and rGO nanosheets. Moreover, the supercapacitive behavior of pristine CoO-NiO and all hybrid samples were studied using cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique. The results revealed that all hybrid samples exhibited much higher the current density than those of the bare CoO-NiO. Thus, this research indicates that the supercapacitive properties of CoO-NiO incorporated with both GO and RGO hybrid materials are superior to the pure CoO-NiO microflowers.
