Investigation of the Capacitive Properties of Molybdenum Oxide-Octadecylamine / Pluronic？F127 Composite Electrodes

Transition metal oxides (TMOs) are of great interest for their catalytic stability and semi-conductive properties. For supercapacitor electrodes, TMOs are used to alternative materials due to the enhancement of energy density and specific capacitance. In this study, molybdenum trioxide- octadecylamine (MoO3-ODA) and molybdenum trioxide- EOnPOmEOn-type block-copolymer composite thin films on ITO were prepared by Spin Coating method. MoO3-ODA/ITO and MoO3-Pluronic？F127/ITO electrodes were fabricated with above mentioned thin films and their electrochemical properties were investigated. Our results demonstrated that electrical conductivity increased in the presence of ODA and Pluronic？F127 (EO106PO70EO106). Furthermore, molybdenum trioxide composite structure prepared with Pluronic？F127 shown better electrochemical energy storage capacity. Our electrochemical studies and results show that MoO3 composite structures with Pluronic？F127 can be a promising approach to fabricate new generation high-performance supercapacitors
