Abstract

Transition metal molybdates are good choice for electrochemical applications because of their desirable chemical and physical characteristics. In this study, copper molybdate (CuMoO₄) nanorods were effectively prepared by hydrothermal technique and explored for supercapacitor applications. The influence of hydrothermal reaction times on the structural, morphological, and optical properties of the CuMoO₄ nanorods were studied. The anorthic crystal structure of CuMoO₄ nanorods along better crystallinity was confirmed by XRD analysis. The FESEM and HRTEM images showed that the synthesized sample exhibited nanorod structure. EDAX analysis showed the presence of elements related to CuMoO₄. FTIR spectroscopy proved that the characteristic bonds of Cu–O and Mo–O were observed below 1000 cm⁻¹. BET studies showed a calculated surface area of 45.4 m²/g related to the CuMoO₄ nanorods. The oxidation state of Cu was +2 identified by XPS analysis. The optical bandgap values decreased from 2.25 to 2.07 eV with increasing reaction times. Cyclic voltammetry measurement revealed that charge storage in CuMoO₄ exhibited pseudocapacitive behavior and nanorod structures achieved an excellent specific capacitance value of 156 Fg⁻¹ at a low scan rate. Based on this study, the obtained CuMoO₄ nanorod electrodes could be a promising electrode material for energy storage devices.
