A novel approach of double hydroxide-mediated synthesis of nickel cobaltite (NiCo2O4) electro-active material by the hydrothermal method is reported. The obtained NiCo2O4 electro-active material displays the spinel cubic phase and hexagonal-like morphology. Thermogravimetry analysis confirms the thermal stability of the electrode material. The functional groups and phase formation of NiCo2O4 have been confirmed by FT-IR and Raman spectral analysis. The modified NiCo2O4 electrode exhibits the highest specific capacitance of 767.5 F g(-1) at a current density of 0.5 A g(-1) in 3 M KOH electrolyte and excellent cyclic stability (94 % capacitance retention after 1000 cycles at a high current density of 5 A g(-1)). The excellent electrochemical performance of the electrode is attributed to the hexagonal-like morphology, which contributes to the rich surface electro-active sites and easy transport pathway for the ions during the electrochemical reaction. The attractive Faradic behavior of NiCo2O4 electrode has been ascribed to the redox contribution of Ni2+/Ni3+ and Co2+/Co3+ metal species in the alkaline medium. The symmetrical two-electrode cell has been fabricated using the NiCo2O4 electro-active material with excellent electrochemical properties for supercapacitor applications.
