Hydrothermally Synthesized CoSn(OH)6 Nanoparticles for Electrochemical Performance

Cubic phase cosn(oh)6 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method using naoh as a mineralizer. the prepared sample was analyzed by using x-ray diffraction (xrd) and the analysis confirmed that the cosn(oh)6 nanoparticles have a spinel cubic structure with lattice space group pn3m and mean crystalline size of 25 nm. field emission scanning electron microscope (fe-sem) study showed that the cubic with polyhedral shaped surface morphology of the cosn(oh)6 nanoparticles was seen. the specific capacitance value of 450 fg-1 was calculated at the scan rate of 2 mvs^-1 as measured by using cyclic voltammetry. in the present investigation, the prepared cosn(oh)6 nanoparticles are suggested as a potential candidate for supercapacitor applications.
