The charge-discharge curves of the electrodes exhibit almost symmetrical charge-discharge times at both low and high current densities, indicating that they have excellent reversibility during the charge-discharge process. Figure 4-2 In the figure (h), the specific capacitance of the electrode materials in Examples 1-7 under different current densities is shown. The values ​​for NiMoO4@Co(CO3) at current densities of 1, 2, 5, 8, and 10 A / g are also shown. 0.5 (OH)-2 exhibits the largest specific capacitance, retaining 57.3% of its initial capacitance even at 10 A / g.

[0035] Figure 5 For NiMoO4 and Co(CO3) 0.5 (OH) and NiMoO4@Co(CO3) 0.5 The EIS diagram of (OH)⁻⁂ was obtained. The values ​​of NiMoO₄ and Co(CO₃) were obtained through circuit fitting. 0.5 (OH) and NiMoO4@Co(CO3) 0.5 (OH)-2's R ct The resistances are 2.54 Ω, 0.159 Ω, and 2.1 Ω, respectively. (Co(CO3)) 0.5 (OH) has the lowest charge transfer resistance compared to NiMoO4, and NiMoO4@Co(CO3) has the lowest resistance. 0.5The resistance of (OH)-2 decreased significantly, indicating that the heterostructure can improve the diffusion pathway and charge transfer of ions, thereby promoting charge transport.
