    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for synthesizing dysprosium-doped cobalt-chromate for supercapacitor applications and a composition for the same, wherein an efficient and cost-effective Solution Combustion synthesis method is utilized for the preparation of Dy-doped CoCr2O4 (CCD). The stoichiometric dissolution of metal and rare earth nitrates, along with fuels, in distilled water forms a green-colored solution, subsequently heated to 450 degrees Celsius. The resulting ash undergoes grinding to yield a fine green pigment with a controlled size of 25 nm. Electrochemical properties of CCD are thoroughly examined through cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Capacitive behavior, evaluated via various techniques, demonstrates an increase in capacitance with Dy3+ concentration. Density of states calculations reveal improved electronic features after Dy3+ doping, emphasizing enhanced charge storage capabilities. This invention provides insights into an advanced synthesis approach and the electrochemical potential of Dy-doped CoCr2O4 for energy storage applications.
