Abstract
Spinel NiCo2O4 is a promising material for electronic applications due to its tunable nanostructures and electrical properties. This study systematically investigates the effect of varying urea concentrations in the hydrothermal solution on the nanostructural evolution of NiCo2O4 (NCO) and its impact on electrical and dielectric properties. By varying urea content, distinct morphologies-including nanosheets, nanoleaves, and nanofibers-were obtained and characterized via XRD, XPS, and FE-SEM analysis. To evaluate the electrical characteristics, capacitance and conductance measurements were performed using an LCR Meter at room temperature over a frequency range of 100 Hz to 1 MHz. The results revealed negative capacitance at low frequencies, linked to polarization changes and minority charge carriers. Also, dielectric parameters were calculated from measured values, showing that nanoform variations influence conductivity trends. This study provides new insights into how nanoform variations in NiCo2O4, controlled by synthesis parameters, influence its dielectric behavior. The findings significantly contribute to the understanding of negative capacitance and the tunability of electrical properties in NCO, highlighting their potential for future electronic and dielectric applications.

Abstract
Extensive research efforts have been dedicated to developing electrode materials with high capacity to address the increasing complexities arising from the energy crisis. Herein, a new nanocomposite was synthesized via the sol-gel method by immobilizing K6ZnW12O40 within the surface of NiZn2O4. ZnW12O40@NiZn2O4 was characterized by FT-IR, UV-Vis, XRD, SEM, EDX, BET, and TGA-DTG methods. The electrochemical characteristics of the materials were examined using cyclic voltammogram (CV) and charge-discharge chronopotentiometry (CHP) techniques. Multiple factors affecting the hydrogen storage capacity, including current density (j), surface area of the copper foam, and the consequences of repeated cycles of hydrogen adsorption-desorption were evaluated. The initial cycle led to an impressive hydrogen discharge capability of 340 mAh/g, which subsequently increased to 900 mAh/g after 20 cycles with a current density of 2 mA in 6.0 M KOH medium. The surface area and the electrocatalytic characteristics of the nanoparticles contribute to facilitate the formation of electrons and provide good diffusion channels for the movement of electrolyte ions throughout the charge-discharge procedure.

Abstract
The exfoliation of nonlayered materials to mono- or few-layers is of growing interest to realize their full potential for various applications. Nickel cobaltite (NiCo2O4), which has a spinel crystal structure, is one such nonlayered material with unique properties and has been utilized in a wide range of applications. Herein, NiCo2O4 is synthesized from NiCo2- Layered double hydroxides using a topochemical conversion technique. Subsequently, bulk NiCo2O4 is exfoliated into mono- or few-layer nickel cobaltene nanosheets using liquid-phase exfoliation in various low-boiling point solvents. An analytical centrifuge technique is also utilized to understand the solute-solvent interactions by determining their dispersion stability using parameters such as the instability index and sedimentation velocity. Among the studied solvents, water/isopropyl alcohol cosolvent is found to have better dispersion stability. In addition, density functional theory calculations are carried out to understand the exfoliation mechanism. It is found that the surface termination arising from the Co-O bond needs the least energy for exfoliation. Furthermore, the obtained nickel cobaltene nanosheets are utilized as an active material for supercapacitors without any conductive additives or binders. A solid-state symmetric supercapacitor delivers a specific capacitance of 10.2 mF cm-2 with robust stability, retaining ∼98% capacitance after 4000 cycles.

Abstract
In this study, a porous Ni-foam support was employed to enhance the capacitance of nickel cobaltite (NiCo2O4) electrodes designed for supercapacitors. The hydrothermal synthesis method was employed to grow NiCo2O4 as an active material on Ni-foam. The NiCo2O4 sample derived from hydrothermal synthesis underwent subsequent post-heat treatment at temperatures of 250 °C, 300 °C, and 350 °C. Thermogravimetric analysis of the NiCo2O4 showed that weight loss due to water evaporation occurs after 100 °C and enters the stabilization phase at temperatures above 400 °C. The XRD pattern indicated that NiCo2O4 grew into a spinel structure, and the TEM results demonstrated that the diffraction spots (DSs) on the (111) plane of the sample annealed at 350 °C were more pronounced than those of other samples. The specific capacitance of the NiCo2O4 electrodes exhibited a decrease with increasing current density across all samples, irrespective of the annealing temperature. The electrode annealed at 350 °C recorded the highest specific capacitance value. However, the capacity retention rate of the NiCo2O4 electrode revealed a deteriorating trend, declining to 88% at 250 °C, 75% at 300 °C, and 63% at 350 °C, as the annealing temperature increased.

Abstract
AbstractThe binary metal oxides show advantages in energy storage devices. Specifically, nickel cobaltite (NiCo2O4) materials showed promising pseudocapacitive properties, high electrical conductivity and large surface area by virtue of their effective porous structure. NiCo2O4 nanosheets were hydrothermally grown in this work over flexible tapes of Aluminum (Al) and Copper (Cu). A nanosheets structure obtained of NiCo2O4 as confirmed by SEM and AFM images. The measured thickness by 3D profilometer of NiCo2O4 nanosheets based Al framework found to be 4.3 µm compared to 8.4 µm thick of film based-Cu framework. Asymmetric supercapacitor prepared from graphite and NiCo2O4 electrodes separated by filter paper. Acidic aqueous electrolyte of H2SO4 and basic aqueous electrolyte of KOH were employed to verify the cyclic activity and electrochemical reaction of asymmetric prepared supercapacitor devices. The basic KOH electrolyte shows a high stability and better charge transfer/ionic diffusion compared to the acidic H2SO4 electrolyte in particular for NiCo2O4 film-based Cu framework. The energy density and power density values were 0.9 W h kg−1 and 66.45 W kg−1, respectively. The highest specific capacity (in F.g−1) = 10.09 coincides with NiCo2O4/Cu supercapacitor in the basic KOH electrolyte. The charge storage in the supercapacitor system of NiCo2O4 and graphite can be ascribed in the form of Faradic charge transfer and capacitive non-faradic double layer, respectively.

Abstract
Supercapacitors have the potential to be used in a variety of fields, including electric vehicles, and a lot of research is focused on unique electrode materials to enhance capacitance and stability. Herein, we prepared nickel molybdate/activated carbon (AC) nanocomposites using a facile impregnation method that preserved the carbon surface area. In order to study how the nickel-to-molybdenum ratio affects the efficiency of the electrode, different ratios between Ni-Mo were prepared and tested as supercapacitor electrodes, namely in the following ratios: 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, and 1:5. X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, FESEM, HRTEM, and BET devices were extensively used to analyze the structure of the nanocomposites. The structure of the prepared nickel molybdates was discovered to be 2D hierarchical nanosheets, which functionalized the carbon surface. Among all of the electrodes, the best molar ratio between Ni-Mo was found to be 1:3 NiMo3/AC reaching (541 F·g-1) of specific capacitance at a current density of 1 A·g-1, and 67 W·h·Kg-1 of energy density at a power density of 487 W·Kg-1. Furthermore, after 4000 repetitive cycles at a large current density of 4 A·g-1, an amazing capacitance stability of 97.7% was maintained. This remarkable electrochemical activity for NiMo3/AC could be credited towards its 2D hierarchical structure, which has a huge surface area of 1703 m2·g-1, high pore volume of 0.925 cm3·g-1, and large particle size distribution.

Abstract
With the fast consumption of traditional fossil fuels and the urgent requirement for a low-carbon economy and sustainable development, supercapacitors are gaining more and more attention as a clean energy storage and conversion device. The research on electrode materials for supercapacitors has become a hot topic nowadays. An electrode material for a supercapacitor, comprising the ZIF-67 in-built carbon-based material, was prepared from a biomass pre-hydrolysate via a hydrothermal process. As a by-product of dissolving slurry, the pre-hydrolysate is rich in carbon, which is an excellent biomass resource. The utilization of pre-hydrolysate to prepare carbon energy materials could realize the high value utilization of pre-hydrolysate and the efficient energy conversion of biomass. Meanwhile, the cobalt-based MOF (such as ZIF-67), as a porous crystalline material, has the advantages of having a regular order, high specific surface area and controllable pore size, as well as good thermal and chemical stability. The addition of ZIF-67 modified the morphology and pore structure of the carbon, and the obtained samples showed outstanding electrochemical performance. One- and two-step synthetic processes generated specimens with a coral-like cross-linked structure and a new type of rough, hollow, dandelion-like structure, respectively, and the pore size was in the range of 2.0–5.0 nm, which is conducive to ion transport and charge transfer. In C2-ZIF-67, the hollow structures could effectively prevent the accumulation of the electrochemical active center, which could provide enough space for the shrinkage and expansion of particles to protect them from the interference of electrolytes and the formation of solid electrolyte interphase film layers. Additionally, the plush tentacle structure with low density and a large specific surface area could expose more active sites and a large electrolyte electrode contact area, and short electron and charge transport paths. Importantly, active, free electrons of small amounts of Co-MOF (1 wt%) could be stored and released through the redox reaction, further improving the electrical conductivity of Carbon-ZIF-67 materials in this work. Consequently, C2-ZIF-67 exhibited superior specific capacitance (400 F g−1, at 0.5 A g−1) and stability (90%, after 10,000 cycles).

Abstract
Owing to the nanometer size range, Quantum Dots (QDs) have exhibited unique physical and chemical properties which are favourable for different applications. Especially, due to their quantum confinement effect, excellent optoelectronic characteristics is been observed. This considerable progress has not only uplifted the singular usage of QDs, but also encouraged to prepare various hybrid materials to achieve superior efficiency by eliminating certain shortcomings. Such issues can be overcome by compositing QDs with polymers. Via employing polymer composite with QDs (PQDs) for supercapacitor applications, adequate conductivity, stability, excellent energy density, and better specific capacitance is been achieved which we have elaborately discussed in this review. Researchers have already explored various types of polymer nanocomposite with different QDs such as carbonaceous QDs, transition metal oxide/sulphide QDs etc. as electrode material for supercapacitor application. Synthesis, application outcome, benefits, and drawbacks of these are explained to portray a better understanding. From the existing studies it is clearly confirmed that with using PQDs electrical conductivity, electrochemical reactivity, and the charge accumulation on the surface have prominently been improved which effected the fabricated supercapacitor device performance. More comprehensive fundamentals and observations are explained in the current review which indicates their promising scopes in upcoming times.

Abstract
The increased demand of energy due to the recent technological advances in diverse fields such as portable electronics and electric vehicles is often hindered by the poor capability of energy-storage systems. Although supercapacitors (SCs) exhibit higher power density than state-of-the art batteries, their insufficient energy density remains a major challenge. An emerging concept of hybrid supercapacitors (HSCs) with the combination of one capacitive and one battery electrode in a single cell holds a great promise to deliver high energy density without sacrificing power density and cycling stability. This Minireview elaborates the recent advances of use of nickel cobaltite (NiCo2 O4 ) as a potential positive electrode (battery-like) for HSCs. A brief introduction on the structural benefits and charge storage mechanisms of NiCo2 O4 was provided. It further shed a light on composites of NiCo2 O4 with different materials like carbon, polymers, metal oxides, and others, which altogether helps in increasing the electrochemical performance of HSCs. Finally, the key scientific challenges and perspectives on building high-performance HSCs for future-generation applications were reviewed.

Herein, ZIF-67 is prepared by a one-step method using Co2+ as the central metal ion, 2-methylimidazole as the organic ligand, and methanol as an organic solvent at room temperature. Hollow NiCo2O4 and sheet-like Co3O4/NiCo2O4 derived from bimetallic imidazolate framework precursors were synthesized by adding cobalt and nickel ions in appropriate proportions. A hollow and porous structure is achieved for the reaction between a nickel salt and ZIF-67, and this unique nanostructure provides a high active surface area, which is beneficial to the electrochemical properties. Several samples are prepared and used as electrode materials for electrochemical tests in 6 M KOH. As a result, the Co3O4/NiCo2O4 electrode with a sheet nanostructure showed a high specific capacitance of 846 F g−1 at a current density of 0.5 A g−1. This Co3O4/NiCo2O4 electrode material is promising for future studies on high-performance supercapacitors to solve emerging energy-related problems. [Formula: see text]

Abstract
The development of efficient and low-cost electrocatalysts toward the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is critical for improving the efficiency of several electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices. Here, we report an elaborate design and synthesis of porous Co-based trimetallic spinel oxide nanoboxes (NiCo2-x Fex O4 NBs) by a novel metal-organic framework engaged strategy, which involves chemical etching, cation exchange, and subsequent thermal oxidation processes. Owing to the structural and compositional advantages, the optimized trimetallic NiCo2-x Fex O4 NBs (x is about 0.117) deliver superior electrocatalytic performance for OER with an overpotential of 274 mV at 10 mA cm-2 , a small Tafel slope of 42 mV dec-1 , and good stability in alkaline electrolyte, which is much better than that of Co-based bi/monometallic spinel oxides and even commercial RuO2 .

Abstract
Nowadays, rationally preparing heterostructure materials can not only make up for the shortage of individual components, but also exert unexpected performance through synergistic interactions between the components. Herein, a core-shell of WS2@NiCo2O4 screw-like heterostructure arrays grown on carbon cloth (CC) was prepared by a two-step solvothermal method for supercapacitors. As a binder-free flexible electrode, a high areal capacitance of 2449.9 mF cm-2 can be achieved for WS2@NiCo2O4/CC at a current density of 1 mA cm-2. Benefiting from the core-shell of the WS2@NiCo2O4 heterostructure, the capacitive property of the flexible WS2@NiCo2O4/CC electrode is better than those of WS2/CC and NiCo2O4/CC electrodes. Based on WS2@NiCo2O4/CC electrodes, the assembled flexible solid-state symmetric supercapacitor (FSS) device shows a high energy density of ∼45.67 W h kg-1 at a power density of 992.83 W kg-1. Meantime, the WS2@NiCo2O4/CC-assembled FSS device also exhibits high cycling stability with an excellent capacity retention of ∼85.59% after 5000 cycles.
