In situ microwave-assisted solvothermal synthesis via morphological transformation of ZnCo₂O₄ 3D nanoflowers and nanopetals to 1D nanowires for hybrid supercapacitors.

ABSTRACT: Over recent decades, the conversion of energy and its storage have been in the lime light due to the depletion of fossil resources. The electrochemical energy storage devices like supercapacitors and batteries, and their materials and fabrication methods have been extensively evaluated, which is the best solution for the energy crisis. Herein, zinc cobaltite (ZnCo₂O₄; ZCO) nanostructures grown on nickel (Ni) foam by microwave-assisted solvothermal fabrication for hybrid supercapacitors are reported. Two different structures/samples, ZCO-15/Ni (nanoflowers) and ZCO-30/Ni (nanowires), were obtained by simply adjusting the reaction time. The electrochemical and physicochemical properties of the as-prepared samples were systematically determined. Particularly, ZCO-15/Ni e
