Hydrothermally synthesized CoSn(OH)‎6 nanoparticles for electrochemical performance

الملخص EN

Cubic phase CoSn(OH)6 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method using NaOH as a mineralizer.

The prepared sample was analyzed by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the analysis confirmed that the CoSn(OH)6 nanoparticles have a spinel cubic structure with lattice space group Pn3m and mean crystalline size of 25 nm.

Field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) study showed that the cubic with polyhedral shaped surface morphology of the CoSn(OH)6 nanoparticles was seen.

The specific capacitance value of 450 Fg-1 was calculated at the scan rate of 2 mVs-1 as measured by using cyclic voltammetry.

In the present investigation, the prepared CoSn(OH)6 nanoparticles are suggested as a potential candidate for supercapacitor applications.
