Abstract

Energy storage technologies play a crucial role in addressing the intermittent characteristics of renewable energy sources, improving the stability of electrical grids, and decreasing the release of greenhouse gas emissions. In this study, we presented nickel indium oxalate (Ni1-xInxC2O4) as a promising material with potential applications in the field of electrochemical energy storage. The as-prepared Ni-In- oxalate sample was subjected to different physical characterizations, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Regarding the electrochemical energy storage capability, the Ni1-xInxC2O4 electrode material exhibited a specific capacitance of 835 F g−1 (417.5 C g−1) at 1 A g−1. The incorporation of nickel (Ni) into the indium (In) oxalate nanoplates enhances their electrochemical performance. The presence of Ni in the nanoplates generated from substrate, improving the overall conductivity of the material and enhances its electrochemical reactions, thus leading to improved energy storage capabilities. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.
