Effect of annealing on microstructure, electrochemical, and magnetic properties of Co-doped SrTiO{sub 3} nanocubes obtained by the hydrothermal method was studied. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results of all as-prepared and annealed Co-doped SrTiO{sub 3} samples revealed a cubic perovskite structure with the second phases of SrCO{sub 3} and Co{sub 3}O{sub 4}in as-prepared and annealed SrTi{sub 0.90}Co{sub 0.10}O{sub 3} samples, respectively. Agglomerated nanocubes could be clearly observed in all as-prepared and annealed Co-doped samples by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) results suggested the presence of Co{sup 2+} cations in as-prepared Co-doped SrTiO{sub 3} samples, while both of Co{sup 2+} and Co{sup 3+} cations were found in annealed Co-doped SrTiO{sub 3} samples. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) results of as-prepared and annealed SrTi{sub 1-x}Co{sub x}O{sub 3} (x = 0.05, 0.075 and 0.10) electrodes revealed pseudocapacitor behavior of the Faradaic redox reaction type. The specific capacitance (Csc) was affected by the increase of Co content in all as-prepared and annealed Co-doped SrTiO{sub 3} samples with an excellent cycling stability after 200 cycle test of 97.24% and the highest value of 75.28 F g{sup −1} at 1 A g{sup −1} in an annealed SrTi{sub 0.925}Co{sub 0.075}O{sub 3} electrode. Magnetization measurements at room temperature using vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) revealed diamagnetic behavior of as-prepared SrTiO{sub 3} sample, whereas paramagnetic behavior was observed in all as-prepared Co-doped SrTiO{sub 3} samples. After annealing, undoped sample exhibited paramagnetic behavior, whereas ferromagnetic behavior was observed in all Co-doped SrTiO{sub 3} samples with the increase of saturation magnetization (M{sub s}) at 10 kOe from 0.58 to 1.63 emu/g and the coercive field (H{sub c}) from 43.71 to 123.87 Oe, suggested to originate from the face-center exchange (FCE) mechanism.
