The major center of attraction in renewable energy technology is the designing of an efficient material for both electrocatalytic and supercapacitor (SC) applications. Herein, we report the simple hydrothermal method to synthesize cobalt-iron-based nanocomposites followed by sulfurization and phosphorization. The crystallinity of nanocomposites has been confirmed using X-ray diffraction, where crystalline nature improves from as-prepared to sulfurized to phosphorized.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on creating eco-friendly cobalt oxide nanoparticles using orange peel extract as a reducing agent, addressing the growing need for energy storage and environmental sustainability.
- Various cobalt precursors were used to compare the phase and electrochemical properties of the nanoparticles, with the phosphide variants showing the highest capacitance at 185 F/g.
- The research suggests that these phosphide-based nanoparticles retain over 85% capacitance after 5000 cycles, highlighting a promising green method for developing materials for energy applications.
