The spent lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) are considered as zero-cost source for cobalt oxide production. Objectives: The aim of this work is to recover cobalt oxide from spent LiBs and study its electrochemical performance as a supercapacitor electrode material. Methods: This study uses an electrodeposition method to obtain cobalt oxide honeycomb-like anodes coated on Ni foam substrates from spent Li-ion batteries for supercapacitors applications. The effect of annealing temperature on the cobalt oxide anode has been carefully investigated; 450ºC annealing temperature results in nanocubes on the surface of the cobalt oxide electrode. X-ray diffraction confirmed the formation of the Co3O4-NiO electrode. Results: The Co3O4-NiO nanocubes electrode has shown a high specific capacitance of 1400 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 and high capacitance retention of ~96 after 2250 cycles at a constant current density of 10 A g-1 compared to 900 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 as for prepared Co3O4 honeycomb. Conclusion: This strategy proves that the paramount importance of Co3O4-NiO nanocubes, meticulously synthesized at elevated temperatures, as a supremely effective active material upon deposition onto transition metal foam current collectors, establishing their indispensability for supercapacitor applications. © 2024 Bentham Science Publishers. date: 2024 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Bakr, Z.H. and Aboelazm, E.A.A. and Khe, C.S. and Ali, G.A.M. and Chong, K.F.
