Abstract: Due to the importance of energy storage systems based on supercapacitors, various studies have been conducted. In this research CuO, NCNO and the flower like CuO/NCNO have been studied as a novel materials in this field. The resulte showed that the synthesized CuO nanostructutes have flower like morphology which studied by FE-SEM analisis. Further, the XRD pattern confirmed the crystalline properties of the CuO/NCNO nanocomposite, and the Raman verified the functional groups and vibrations of the components of CuO/NCNO nanocomposite. In a two-electrode system at a current density of 4 A/g, the capacitance, power density, and energy density were 450 F/g, 3200 W/kg, and 98 Wh/kg, respectively. The charge transfer resistances of CuO and NCNO/CuO electrodes obtained 8 and 2 Ω respectively, which show that the conductivity and supercapacitive properties of nanocomposite are better than pure components. Also, the stability and low charge transfer resistance are other advantages obtained in a two-symmetrical electrode investigation. The stability investigation showed that after 3000 consecutive cycles, only 4% of the initial capacitance of the CuO/NCNO electrode decreased.
