| description | This study looks at how to manufacture cost-effective, sustainable, and high-performance energy storage materials. Although there has been significant development in graphene oxide-based materials, challenges such as the accumulation of graphene sheets, weak cycling stability, and insufficient pseudocapacitive contributions reduce their efficiency, so this work looks to ride these challenges by manufacturing a stable, high-capacity, and environmentally friendly hybrid quaternary nanocomposite γ-Fe2O3/Cr2O3/GO/SA aerogel by using the inexpensive sonication method. The structural and morphological characterization of this hybrid nanocomposite was done using different techniques such as x-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy technique. The capacitive performance was determined using a three-electrode system workstation. This hybrid nanocomposite achieved an excellent specific capacity of 1032 F.g−1 at a current density of 1 mA.g−1, along with a good energy density of 430 Wh.kg−1 and a power density of 9110 W.kg−1, and this means it achieved about a 2.5 times improvement more than traditional GO-based materials. These impressive results belong to the excellent surface area of the γ-Fe2O3/Cr2O3/GO/SA hybrid aerogel, provided by adding two types of semiconductors (γ-Fe2O3 and Cr2O3), which reduces the graphene oxide sheets agglomeration. Furthermore, they also have a multioxidation state that makes them suitable for redox reactions, which leads to the addition of a pseudocapacitive to the overall capacitance. The hybrid nanocomposite also appears to have impressive cycling stability and a high coulombic efficiency of up to 98% after 7000 cycles, making it suitable for energy storage devices. |
