SYNERGISTIC EFFECT OF METAL – METAL OXIDE MATRIX NANOCOMPOSITES FOR SUPERCAPACITOR APPLICATION

Abstract

Metal - metal oxide matrix nanocomposite material has advanced vastly in electronics application particularly in energy storage. It has found appropriate for supercapacitors application with high storage. Matrix is fabricated with nano metals or nano metal oxide for better physical, chemical and mechanical properties. The main advantage of these  anocomposites is high constancy, cost effective, light weight, effortless to fabricate, excellent capability intended for energy storage and owing to these reasons many investigation has done to improve the capability of the supercapacitors. Metal matrix nanocomposites can be reinforced by the combination of metal such as Al. Ag, Zn and metal oxides such as Fe3O4, ZnO, and MgO2 respectively, various methods can be used to synthesise but it depends on the application. This work is intended in reviewing most suitable method and material for supercapacitors application.
