Effects of the surfactants hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide(CTAB) and polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP) on the morphology and electrochemical performance of the composite were investigated. Powder X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and nitrogen adsorption-desorption experiment were employed to characterize the microstructures and morphologies of the composite. Meanwhile, the electrochemical performances of the samples were studied using cyclic voltammetry(CV), galvanostatic charge-discharge test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS). The results show that the porous Co3O4/Cu O-CTAB nanoplates own the best performance and exhibits a high specific capacitance of 398 F/g at 1 A/g with almost 100% capacitance retention over 2000 cycles, and it retains 90% of capacitance at 10 A/g.展开更多
