Sub-micron-scaled sodium cobalt oxide (NaCo₂O₄) powders are prepared by a solid-state reaction method. Characterization using X-ray diffraction indicates that the synthesized NaCo₂O₄ has a hexagonal layered structure. The electrochemical performance of the NaCo₂O₄ electrodes is investigated using cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge/discharge in NaOH solution. The results show that the specific capacitance of the NaCo₂O₄ electrode reaches 337 F/g over the potential range of 0.15-0.65 V at a mass normalized current of 50 mA/g. Moreover, NaCo₂O₄ exhibits very good stability and cycling performance as a supercapacitor material.
