This study presents the synthesis of Ru:Fe2O3 thin films using the Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) method for supercapacitor applications, with a focus on the effect of calcination temperature variation. Comprehensive analytical characterization through X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and wettability measurements confirmed the successful synthesis and morphological and structural parameter of the Ru:Fe2O3 nano-composite. The Ru:Fe2O3 electrodes demonstrated outstanding electrochemical performance, achieving a specific capacitance (Cs) of 854.1 F/g at a scan rate of 5 mV/s in a 1M KOH electrolyte. Additionally, the electrodes exhibited an impressive energy density of 82.6 Wh/kg, a power density of 0.8 kW/kg, and an efficiency of 55.1%. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) indicated lower internal resistance (1.1 Ω), as well as reduced charge transfer and diffusion resistance compared to other electrodes.
