Abstract

Transition metal oxides are apt materials for energy storage devices due to their high theoretical specific capacity, high thermal stability and abundance. The synthesis of mixed metal oxide (MMO) nanocomposites of Ce/Mo/Ti and characterization using UV, FTIR, field emission scanning electron microscopy and XRD to investigate the optical and structural properties. UV-Vis studies of the prepared nanocomposites show that the absorption is aspect to the transfer of electrons from the valence band to the conduction band. FTIR analysis confirms the presence of metal oxides by the corresponding metal oxide stretching vibrations. The particle size of Ce/Mo/Ti MMO nanocomposite is in the range of 10.93 nm – 48.95 nm and has uniform spherical particles from FESEM images. Cyclic voltammetric studies of Ce/Mo/Ti MMO shows that the calculated specific capacitance value is 143 F/g at pH 9 due to the uniform nanostructure.
