Summary
Considering the limit of resources and the frequent use of energy, energy storage is nowadays the subject that everyone cares about. In the present work, we investigate trijunction metal oxides as supercapacitor electrode for energy storage application. A MnO2/NiO/ZnO trijunction electrode is synthesized for the first time using a successive three electrochemical deposition steps onto stainless steel (SS) substrate. This approach can effectively yield a good distribution and adhesion of all metal oxides onto the substrate with enhanced hydrophilicity and wettability. The specific capacitance of this trijunction electrode, as studied by cyclic voltammetry was higher than that of individual metal oxide electrodes. The maximum specific capacitance was estimated to be 1569.75 g−1 at a scan rate of 5 mV s−1. The enhanced electrochemical performance of this trijunction electrode compared to single metal oxide electrodes (MnO2, NiO, or ZnO) is mainly due to the improvement of ion and electron transportation pathways in the combination of three metal oxides electrode. In addition, this study presents an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model to predict cyclic voltammetry behavior of the prepared trijunction supercapacitor electrode, with a high satisfactory performance for the predicted performance with <0.05% error. The low and simply synthesized hierarchical trijunction electrode with superior electrochemical performance and the good correlation between experimental and theoretical results prove huge potential for its practical application in supercapacitors (SCs).
