Cr2O3 nanoparticles have been synthesized via simple and facile microwave irradiation method. The structural, morphological and electrochemical performances of Cr2O3 nanoparticles have been studied. Electrochemical analysis indicates the Cr2O3 electrodes to be good pseudocapacitor material with a specific capacitance (122 F g−1 at a constant current of 1 A g−1), high energy density (6.08 W h kg−1), large power density (218.98 W kg−1). These results allow us to state with confidence that new class of electrode materials with good electrochemical performance has been identified.
