rGO-CuO nanocomposite has been fabricated with superior electrochemical behavior originating from synergistic effects of the components.
One-pot ultrasound-assisted GO reduction by Cu(II) ions followed by deposition of self-assembled CuO onto rGO layers in a cheaper, green route.
The nanocomposite shows better specific capacitance (Cs = 227 Fg−1) at high current density of 1 Ag−1 in the potential window of −0.3 V to + 0.8 V.
EIS study suggests better electrical conductivity and superior ion transport performance for promising applications in energy storage devices.
Few reports are available in the literature on nano-structured CuO anchored onto rGO sheets showing appreciable electrochemical signatures.
