Effect of processing parameters on the charge storage properties of MgCo2O4 electrodes

Three morphologies of magnesium cobaltite (MgCo2O4), viz. cuboidal microcrystals, nanoflowers, and nanospheres, were synthesized using hydrothermal and molten salt methods and evaluated their electrochemical energy storage properties. Among them cuboidal microcrystal and nanoflowers were obtained by...
